SmartNet established a global knowledge network (GKN) for ocean science by strengthening and expanding the collaboration of ICES, PICES and their partner organizations.
It will support and leverage ICES/PICES member countries' activities related to the UN Decade of Ocean Science (UNDOS), by emphasizing areas of mutual research interest including:
- climate change
- fisheries and ecosystem-based management
- social, ecological and environmental dynamics of marine systems
- coastal communities and human dimensions
- communication and capacity development
It also incorporates strategies to facilitate UNDOS cross-cutting inclusivity themes relating to gender equality, early career
engagement, and involvement of indigenous communities and developing nations in the planning and implementing joint activities.
