Register now for blue growth call launch event
Registration is now open for the launch event of three new calls for proposals under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
The event will be held on 5 April and opened by maritime and fisheries commissioner Karmenu Vella (TBC). Keynote speakers include members of the European Parliament, DG MARE and DG Research.
With a budget of over €7.5m, the three calls are designed to foster blue growth across Europe: ‘Blue careers’ aims to enhance career opportunities in the maritime economy, ‘Blue labs’ to stimulate the creativity of young researchers, and ‘Blue technology’ to set up co-operations that will help bring research results to the market in promising blue growth technology areas.
The calls will be open to all sea basins surrounding the EU coasts and will target a wide range of stakeholders within the blue economy; their launch represents a concrete step towards the implementation of the commission communication ‘Innovation in the Blue Economy: realising the potential of our seas and oceans for jobs and growth’.
