On 21 May 2025, the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership will host a regional workshop in Cork, Ireland, during the European Maritime Day. Co-organised with the European Commission's Directorate-General for Research & Innovation (DG RTD) and the OKEANO Coordination and Support Action (CSA), the event will take place at the UCC Centre for Executive Education. 

This workshop will explore opportunities and challenges related to coastal resilience across the Atlantic Ocean. The agenda includes opening statements by representatives from the Marine Institute, DG RTD, DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE), and the Partnership. A panel discussion will feature speakers from the German Marine Research Consortium, the Atlantic Arc Commission, Atlantic Technological University, and the AtlantECO project, among others. 

The second half of the workshop will follow a World Café format, encouraging discussion on international cooperation, social aspects, and nature-based solutions.
