A number of general and specific workshops and meetings have been held within WP3. They are all referenced under the general List of Dissemination, Products and Activities. Only some important thematic workshops dealing with specific topics are detailed below. Courses are detailed under section 3.7.

In practice, there has been a very close link between the development of the management evaluation framework (WP3) and the application and implementation in case studies (WP4) as described above. Consequently, many publications of the Fisheries Management Evaluation Framework has a case specific background.
