Working package
Social Impacts
Translate UPWELL data and findings into decision-making products.
Based on the scientific knowledge obtained by the other working packages, this team will generate scientific inputs (policy-briefs, perspective-papers) that will support our interaction and work with decision makers in co-producing tools to face environmental variability in coastal areas. Its members will coordinate the training of graduate students and young scientists in this area, exposing them to the challenge of contributing to public policies.
