Second call of the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership – Unified Paths to a Climate-Neutral, Sustainable, and Resilient Blue Economy: Engaging Civil Society, Academia, Policy, and Industry
The vision of the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, a European partnership under the Horizon Europe Programme, is to design, steer and support a just and inclusive transition to a regenerative, resilient, and sustainable blue economy. This EU Partnership aims to boost the transformation needed towards a climate-neutral, sustainable, productive, and competitive blue economy by 2030 while creating and supporting the conditions for a sustainable ocean for the people by 2050.
Research and innovation proposals submitted under the SBEP 2024 Joint Transnational Call are required to address one of the following topics:
- Digital Twins of the Oceans at regional sub basin scale
- Blue economy sectors, development of marine multi-use infrastructures
- Planning and managing sea-uses at the regional level
- Blue Bioresources
