What it is like to attend a big UN Oceans meeting in person: an ECR perspective

By Peter Puskic
In June/July 2022 I had the opportunity to attend the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) in Lisbon Portugal. My place there was supported by the Centre for Marine Socioecology and the Early Career Ocean Professional Programme (ECOP).
I have been engaged with the decade and the ECOP programme since 2019, so the opportunity to see the real thing in action was not to be missed! 

The following is a series of reflections on the conference; the good, the bad and hopefully, a guide to navigating a massive conference such as UNOC.

 Beginning an interdisciplinary journey

By Liam Fulbrook

As nice and simple as it might be, we do not live in a world where things operate in small and easy to manage pieces. Although we try to force things to fit in our predesignated boxes, we are increasingly realising that everything is connected
(or at least we in the western world are only just realising this). For example, in sciences we research our oceans as Oceanographers, Ecologists, Political scientists, Biologists, Botanists, Ichthyologists and many many more. But as we begin to accept that our actions have complex, interlinked and multifaceted consequences and it is important that we begin exploring the cross-boundary relationships and explore the spaces between disciplines.

Speaking the same language? 

By Peter Puskic

Tip 2: learn new languages – seek to understand and speak across disciplines. It all comes down to jargon. This as it turns out, is fundamental to working as an interdisciplinary scientists. We must have a firm grounding and understanding of our own field, but we must also have the capacity to translate this to other disciplines if we are to tackle any of the huge marine conservation issues that we currently face.

Science communication tool

By Sierra Ison

The Centre for Marine Socioecology hosted their first interdisciplinary summer school in Hobart, Tasmania. The theme of this year’s summer school was Interdisciplinary Skills for Equitable Climate Adaptation in Socioecological Systems.

The summer school connected and inspired researchers from all disciplines and diverse cultures to work collaboratively to devise creative, innovative and practical solutions to the myriad socioecological challenges our world and oceans face today.
