This year the BONUS Forum showcased the latest knowledge
produced by the BONUS+ projects that are ending in 2011. Over 80 participants came together in Gdansk, Poland on 24 october 2011, including representatives across different ministries and governmental research institues from the nine countries surrounding the Baltic Sea. During the panel
sessions, the 16 BONUS+ projects shared results on themes related
to multiple risks and stressors, past and future scenarios of the Baltic Sea, eutrophication
and biodiversity.
The BONUS Forum 2011 aimed at encouraging and ensuring that the links between the BONUS+ results and important policy
processes across the region are transparent. Moreover, that the knowledge
generated is used effectively in the critical work across different sectors in
efforts to ensure a better future of the Baltic Sea region.
