The SRIA provides the strategic framework for the Partnership's joint research and innovation activities, helping to identify the priorities, knowledge needs and enabling conditions required to advance a sustainable, resilient and competitive blue economy. The most recent version, updated in 2024, is available here.

To ensure the SRIA remains relevant and reflects a broad range of perspectives, the Partnership invites contributions from stakeholders across the blue economy, including research and innovation organisations, public authorities, funding organisations, industry and SMEs, investors, regional and sea-basin initiatives, NGOs and civil society.

The consultation will help inform the update of the SRIA by gathering insights on emerging research and innovation priorities, knowledge gaps and opportunities for collaboration.

Completing the questionnaire takes approximately 30–60 minutes.

Deadline: Friday, 11 September 2026, 12:00 noon CEST.
