Abstract

Blue Economy identifies the complex of theoretical and applied studies, experimental and not, related to the sea and its ecosystem. The mentioned studies require not only a special commitment of experimental scientists but also the contribution of researchers in the human sciences (historians, philosophers, humanists, art historians) and in the social sciences (policy science scholars, sociologists, jurists), those who can add knowledge relating to the outcomes connected with the use of resources, to the writing of rules, to interventions, education, and training to address and support social behaviours.

Keywords: Blue Economy, social sciences, humanities, sustainability, training.
