For each of the 3 Grand Challenges, we plan to -
(1) Draft a high level summary of achievements since start of current Science Plan and Implementation Strategy, with some examples of paradigm shifting outputs and measures of impact. These will be used in IMBeR's 5-year review report for SCOR – less than 1 page needed for each summary.
(2) Planning for 3-5 science objectives to be achieved by 2024 with the route by which they’ll be achieved e.g. IMBIZO session in 2021, workshop or training course in 2022, workshop in 2023, outputs presented at OSC session in 2024...etc... [Generating the objectives and plans should be as inclusive as possible, seeking input from IMECaN.]
(3) Update the factsheets created in 2019 to communicate what we’ve done (with accessible examples) and where we’re going next. [A new factsheet template has been developed]

[Following interest at the first plenary of the Annual SSC Meeting 2021, this has been added as a task but is left unnumbered]
The task is to develop a list of tasks, plans for how we will complete the tasks, and measures of success so that we will know when the Innovation Challenge is 'completed' and can be rolled back into Grand Challenge 3 by the end of 2024.
Background > Innovation Challenge 4 text from SPIS | Examples of tasks, plans + measures of success: Innovation Challenge 5 + Innovation Challenge 6
Documents to complete > IC4 tasks, plans + measures of success
Finalise (1) the text defining Innovation Challenge 5, (2) list of tasks for GC 5, (3) plans for how we will complete the tasks, and (4) measures of success so that we will know when IC5 has been 'completed'.
Background> Updated Description | To work on > Editable Google Site
Finalise (1) the text defining Innovation Challenge 6, (2) list of tasks for GC 6, (3) plans for how we will complete the tasks, and (4) measures of success so that we will know when IC6 has been 'completed'.

NOTES FROM MEETING (not finalised)
A survey will be distributed and a meeting will be held to revisit IMBeR's strategy towards engagement with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
Meeting - Thursday 6 May - 10:00 am UTC (GMT) - Meeting Notes
Meeting to discuss:
progress on the 3-5 science objectives which each GC is suggesting
progress on the science highlights section of the SCOR report from each GC
progress on our overall review of what we’ve achieved and where we might go next for a presentation at the next plenary
The LATEST DRAFT (on May 18th) of the Terms of Reference for IMBeR SSC members provides (1) a proposal to invite one ex-officio SSC member from each of the IPO hosts, to enhance IMBeR's profile within the host institutions and strengthen support and outreach activities within the host institutions, and to facilitate the contribution of IMBeR related resources within the host institutions, (2) reflecting current inclusion of the Strategy Director, and (3) reflecting needs of global demands of IMBeR.
The SSC is requested to review and revise the DRAFT REVISION in view of finalizing and adopting the revised version in the 2nd plenary.
Please fill in this QUESTIONNAIRE and feel free to suggest any suggestions and items be needed for the workshop in the questionnaire in the annex.
Please reply by 3 May (Monday) sending completed questionnaires to gihoonh54@outlook.com
Thank you
As IPOs started categorizing publications to Class 1&2&3 since 2020, some of the publications from 2016 to 2019 are not classified. Regional Programmes, Working Groups and Endorsed Projects have received listed unclassified publications extracted by IPOs from former reports. Please help to classified and send it back by 21 May. Thank you
