9. Blue Science for Blue Growth –
Marine Science at the European Parliament
We advocate for the inclusion of the ocean on all future political agendas through scientific and fact-based decision making
Providing valuable insight to enhance partnerships, improve research and data collection and access, and contribute to international cooperation and support
Responsive and creative science to help tackle current and emerging issues and challenges in the marine environment

10. A New Era of Blue Enlightenment
Launching of the South Atlantic Flagship Initiative between EU, Brazil, and South Africa
Improve understanding and protection of marine ecosystems, including closely linking research activities.
Euromarine side-event demonstrating research collaboration in Europe
Key stakeholders included high-level government representatives, industry experts, funding agencies, research organisations, marine networks, foundations and academia

11. A New Era of Blue Enlightenment – Euromarine side-event
Highlight EuroMarine contribution made to the research community;
Identify collaborations and opportunities for ocean research available within the network;
Provide an example of a network model that could be extended to other regions;
Invite relevant parties to explore funding opportunities and collaborations with the network

12. The Future of EuroMarine
Identify science priorities
Provide new perspectives to
Facilitate long term integration of data
Build bottom-up links
Enhance education and training
Engage with marine networks
Knowledge hub for marine science
