📅 Every second Tuesday of the month at 1:00 p.m. (UTC+4).

BRIDGES Ocean Talks is open to the entire BRIDGES community and beyond (academics and non-academics, managers, the fishing industry, institutions, etc.). The speakers (researchers, engineers, managers, etc.) come primarily from the BRIDGES community, but not exclusively.

Each webinar lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes a brief introduction, a presentation of the topic, followed by discussion and questions with participants.

We provide simultaneous interpretation in French, English, and Portuguese during each webinar to encourage everyone to participate.

Objectives :

• Share the research conducted as part of the program,
• Disseminate the knowledge generated in the southwestern Indian Ocean region and beyond,
• Create a dynamic space for exchange within the BRIDGES community and beyond.

Topics :

Like the BRIDGES program, these webinars explore topics related to understanding and managing marine socio-ecosystems to strengthen their resilience in the face of climate and food challenges.
