BONUS BALTSPACE to host MSP summer school in Klaipeda

BONUS BALTSPACE is organising a summer school on trans-boundary Maritime Spatial Plannig (MSP) in the Baltic Sea Region. It will take place in Klaipeda, Lithuania from 29 August to 2 September 2016.

The overarching aims of this course are to analyse how trans-boundary integration challenges play out in various MSP situations, and to explore if and how various science-based approaches and tools can be adapted to address integration challenges. Trans-boundary integration in practice will also require context-specific considerations and integration of multiple policies, sectors, stakeholders and knowledges.

The course builds on the BONUS BALTSPACE project that aims to provide science-based approaches and tools to clarify and improve the capacity of MSP in the BSR. Additionally, invited internationally renowned MSP researchers and experienced practitioners, will provide state-of-art insights from both the BSR and other marine regions in Europe.
