Action The International Long Term Ecological Research Network, 2nd Open Science Meeting Event date 02.09.2019 - 06.09.2019 VEvent location Leipzig Country DE - Germany Event type WRD Language eng - English Country DE - Germany Keywords seacrifog ; eu-africa cooperation ; greenhouse gases observations ; climate change Institutional support UEK-B - RVO:86652079 Annotation The SEACRIFOG project promotes the EU-Africa cooperation dialogue at different levels (policy, science, society) on the following themes: land use, land use change, climate- smart agriculture, food security, carbon cycle and greenhouse gases (GHG) observations, in order to support climate mitigation and adaptation. The project aims to develop a road map towards an African network of research infrastructures for long-term observation of GHGs, climate change and environmental dynamics. In the frame of SEACRIFOG three Stakeholders Consultation Workshops were organized. 73 participants from 33 organizations attended the events (held in Kenya in May 2017, Ghana in June 2017, and Zambia in April 2018). At three workshops the world café method was applied in order to gather and share participants’ knowledge about: 1) Land use change implications on food security, 2) GHG observations, carbon stocks and climate change mitigation, 3) Clime-smart agriculture in Africa. This work reports the main outcomes of these participatory workshops. The most prominent and common issues raised, were about data and metadata availability, accessibility, usability, interoperability, resolution, format and, in summary, their quality. Additionally, it was underlined the importance of sharing data and knowledge and the need to develop not only technologies and research infrastructures but also strong and collaborative networking. Decision-makers as well as stakeholders at various levels need an improved access to current know-how and capabilities on new technologies and best practices, and research activities have to respond also to corresponding needs. Beside scientific and technical aspects, the solution to part of constraints must be a comprehensive approach able to consider also socio-economic dynamics, which may influence the success and the long-term sustainability of a research infrastructure network.
