The Mediated Ocean: Making Data Sustainable

A Satellite Activity to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Laboratory “An Accessible Ocean”

Time: 11 May, 10.00-12.00 CEST

 Location: The activity will take place on Zoom (link below). For those who wish to meet in person, we have booked the seminar room at the Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment at KTH (Teknikringen 74D, level 5) so it is also possible to zoom from there. 

Zoom link: https://kth-se.zoom.us./j/64032435299

Outline: The Satellite Activity includes three panel discussions. The panels are organised thematically, as opposed to the in-person workshop on 10 May, where the sessions are mostly disciplinary. Each panel includes 5 participants, and a chair. The panels will consist of a tour-de-table, where each panellist introduces themselves and answers/comments on a set of pre-circulated questions or provocations, each using ca 5 min. The tour-de-table is followed by brief discussion/answers to questions from the online audience. Each panel can take 35 min, for a total of 2h. The questions are formulated by the organisers together with the panel participants before the activity.
