The component Knowledge Integration encompasses synergy creation, knowledge mobilization and capacity building. Findings from the global analysis of small-scale fisheries (Component 1) and from the in-depth studies conducted in various parts of the world (Component 2) will be integrated and synthesized in this component, guided by the transdisciplinary perspective offered by the interactive governance framework, to generate new understandings and insights into the ‘big’ questions. As part of this component, a transdisciplinary fisheries course that will be offered in various languages, and in appropriate ways, such as distance learning, on-line and off-line self-taught packages, field course training, or as part of the curriculum for degree programs and other educational initiatives, will be developed. WG7 Leader: Dr. Kurt Korneski.
