As part of its structuring activities, the Partnership organizes this regional workshop to connect at the North Sea basin scale, collect contributions from innovation actors and integrate good practices and stakeholders’ needs into its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda and activities. Through brief presentations, an interactive discussion with the audience and a World Café, this workshop will bring together senior officials and experts of the policy, research and business communities involved in the blue economy of the North Sea.

To identify research and policy that the Partnership can cover to address concrete challenges for a sustainable blue economy in the North Sea basin, the workshop is structured under the five intervention areas designed for 2025: Digital Twins of the Ocean, Blue Economy Sectors, Managing Sea Uses, Blue Bioresources, Resilient coastal communities and businesses. Additionally, the workshop aims to situate the context and contribution of the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership within the Horizon Europe framework and the current North Sea basin setting.

This workshop is organised under BlueMissionBANOS Arena 3 (see here the agenda). Please note that in order to join our workshop, you need to register first to the BlueMissionBANOS Arena 3 event. You will receive afterwards a confirmation email, and then you will be able to register for the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership Workshop.
