## Description
The Supplier will work closely with Cefas to design and deliver participatory workshops, including:
• Pre-workshop planning and design in consultation with Cefas staff, including hiring suitable venues, organising catering, inviting participants, etc.
• Facilitating the workshops
• Producing concise documentation summarising key discussion points, insights, and recommendations
The first (or only) workshop will aim to understand the needs, priorities, and interests of the fishing industry, with the goal of increasing and improving participation in Cefas science. Discussions will help identify how best to co-develop research and ensure that future collaborations align with industry realities. Special attention will be on the early engagement with the industry in research collaboration, especially in defining research problems and research /project design.
Key discussion topics may include, but are not limited to:
• The level of industry interest in engaging with Cefas science
• Expectations around how scientific collaboration should work in practice
• Drivers and barriers to effective partnership working between scientists and fishers
• The fishing industry’s role in shaping the future of fisheries science
The Supplier will deliver two in-person workshops, one in the East of England and one in the South of England, with preferred locations including the Lowestoft and Weymouth areas. Cefas will provide advice and support by sharing contacts for potential participants in these regions; however, the Supplier is responsible for identifying and directly engaging all relevant stakeholders.
