Description of the event:
Directorate General for Maritime and Fisheries Affairs (DG MARE) and
EASME are organising a side event on innovative projects for a
sustainable economy. If you would you like to know more about the links
between blue economy and circular economy, if you are interested in
these topics, then you are most welcome to attend the WCEF side event
Innovative Projects for a Sustainable Blue Economy.
As outlined in the EU Blue Economy Report 2020,
oceans, coastal areas and marine activities are playing a central role
in supporting Europe’s post-crisis economic recovery through innovative
products and services and creating high-value jobs that shift the EU
towards the objectives of the Green Deal.
In this context, a selection of European and Maritime Fisheries Fund
(EMFF) projects will present innovative solutions they are developing
and will show complementarities between Blue economy and Circular
Economy and how they can contribute to the EU Green Deal’s objectives. The projects are addressing the following blue economy areas:
- Marine litter
- Bio based materials
- Sustainable aquaculture
- Offshore installations
The event takes place online on 16 November 2020 from 14:30 to 16:30 CET
via Cisco WEBEX platform and includes interactive discussions with
speakers to facilitate knowledge exchanges and networking. To participate in the event please register here.
