MARMADE has been selected among 14 European projects in the fields of aquaculture and fisheries to participate in the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) Thematic Portfolio, a strategic two-year initiative fostering collaboration across the blue economy ecosystem.
The SBEP Thematic Portfolio kick-off meeting took place in Bucharest, Romania, from 10 to 12 February, alongside the 2nd Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership Symposium. The events brought together project coordinators, blue economy stakeholders, and representatives of European institutions to exchange knowledge, align strategic priorities, and explore opportunities for cooperation.
MARMADE was represented by Germana Borsetta (University of Camerino), who participated in discussions focused on strengthening synergies among projects addressing sustainability challenges in aquaculture and fisheries.
Participation in the SBEP Thematic Portfolio provides MARMADE with a structured platform to:
- Connect with leading initiatives in the Blue Economy domain
- Strengthen collaboration across research and innovation projects
- Contribute to coordinated efforts supporting sustainable marine resource management
By joining this portfolio, MARMADE reinforces its commitment to advancing circular and sustainable solutions within Europe’s blue bioeconomy, while enhancing its visibility and cooperation at European level.
