A pilot for mutual researcher-teacher professional development, and insertion of new research on Societal Challenges in school curricula. The pilot increases research grant competitiveness if well integrated in the Outreach & Dissemination Strategy of the proposal, and coupled to an Open Science policy.

2. Our Objective:
Ocean Literacy in every Research Project (= scalable model)
school curriculum (= sustainable model)
Our Vision:
Ocean Literacy = two-way exchange between Research &
Society, based on access to research and two-way participation

The LEARN-TEACH Pilot: mutual professional development
Daniel trains to communicate to non-experts,
while teachers get access to latest marine
research to include in the curriculum on:
• Coastal biodiversity & Open Ocean biodiversity;
• Invasive marine species (Gobyfish in Baltic Sea);
• Ocean Acidification & Carbon cycle.
