First Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership Symposium

This event will illustrate the combined effort of Member States, Associated Countries and the European Commission in the Horizon Europe co-funded partnership on Sustainable Blue Economy to make blue economies and societies more sustainable, resilient and prepared for the green and digital transitions, in line with EU’s priorities.

The first Sustainable Blue Economy Symposium will present the objectives of the 19 projects selected for funding from the 1st Joint Transnational Call, as well as the priorities for the second call for February 2024.

Practitioners and stakeholders will discuss the contribution of the partnership’s cross-sectoral research and innovation, including ocean observation and innovative governance, to facilitate and promote the transformation towards an inclusive and just sustainable blue economy.

The Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership constitutes a network of 60 Partner institutions from 25 countries and the European Commission that enables an unprecedent effort to pool research and innovation investments and align national programmes at pan-European scale, taking into consideration the sea-basin (Mediterranean, Black Sea, Baltic and North Sea) and Atlantic Ocean dimension.
