Pre-announcement: Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership’s fourth joint transnational call

to support transnational research and innovation projects (36 months) addressing one of the four priority areas below (subject to funded priority areas by participating funding organisations, see Annex): Priority area 1: Transitioning the blue economy sectors for sustainability and strategic autonomy Priority area 2: Managing sea-uses by advancing digital and ecosystem-based approaches Priority area 3: Promoting sustainable blue bioresources through innovation in marine production and harvesting Priority area 4: Building resilience in coastal communities with infrastructure and businesses Each of these priority areas contributes directly to one or more of the Ocean DecadeChallenges, supporting actionable knowledge generation, policy uptake, capacity development, and inclusive innovation in the blue economy context. Projects in this co-funded call must be impact-driven contributions to the transformation into a blue economy for a more resilient future and towards carbon neutrality targets, following an impact pathway approach. The proposals are strongly recommended to consider a minimum of two EU sea basins which are: the Atlantic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and North Sea, and to assess the project proposal’s impact and potential replication/scalability on various sea basins. Proposals can target European regional seas such as Adriatic Sea, Aegean Sea, the Arctic, Barents Sea, Celtic Sea, etc. but they must be from a minimum of 2 different EU Sea basins. T
