RCN objectives•The scientific goal is that of integrating basic eco-evolutionary and socio-economic principles to address the consequences of current and alternative policy practices in large and commercially exploited marine ecosystems•The educational goal of our network is that of training research and management scientists in the interdisciplinary fields of ecology, oceanography, evolution, sociology and conservation.

Challenges in interdisciplinary education
Haapasari et al (2012) conclude that: ‘interdisciplinarity is a learning process that takes place at three levels: between individuals, between disciplines and between types of knowledge’
•Knowledge: Breadth vs depth
•Skills: Developing a common language and set of tools
•Attitudes: Means and opportunities for long-lasting collaborations

Course characteristics
Main objective - To integrate socio-ecological principles in marine resource management and conservation
Learning outcome- Gain an understanding of topics and skills which are used in the study of coupled socio-ecological systems- Establish a sense of community and collaboration among course attendees
Targeted audience- Graduate students in ecology, conservation biology, fisheries, biological oceanography, economy, sociology and history
Implementation- Summer academy, location TBD- Two weeks - Theoretical (knowledge) and applied (skills) modules- ‘Distance’ continued component
