Upcoming workshop on Bioeconomical models in oceanography
Next week we are organising a one day workshop on the topic of bioeconomical models and their application in oceanography. We will be joined by experts from physics, ecology and economics, to discuss topics of sustainable development, climate change and the role marine ecosystems play in the modern economy.
The workshop will be held at the Faculty of Science, University of Split on the 5th September with the following Schedule:
8:30 – 9:00 Gathering and Opening Remarks

Lunch
The first goal of the workshop is to establish a dialogue between physicists, biologists, and economists on the application of bioeconomic models in oceanography. The second, long term goal, of the workshop is to create a theoretical framework for interpreting the production function of photosynthesis using modern physics and economic theory.
