The Partnership's 2nd Symposium will bring together over 100 participants, including co-funded projects, policymakers, industry leaders, funding organisations, and members of the Black Sea community.

Panel discussions, arts and cultural elements, and dedicated spaces for research and innovation projects will highlight both achievements and opportunities for collaboration. Following the event, attendees are invited to join us for a reception.

The event will:

• Raise visibility of the Partnership’s activities and funding opportunities.

• Showcase ongoing projects and support the scaling of their innovations.

• Foster private-sector engagement in research, innovation, and market uptake.

• Highlight the Partnership’s pan-European, sea-basin approach, with a focus on the Black Sea.

This flagship European stakeholder event also aims to build a strong community around the sustainable blue economy and underline the Partnership’s contribution to the European Ocean Pact, EU maritime policies, Agenda 2030, and the UN Ocean Decade.

The Partnership will host an "icebreaker" dinner the evening before the Symposium, on Tuesday, 10 February. Please indicate in the registration form whether you would like to join us.
