Interreg Euro-MED - BLUE ECOSYSTEM
BLUE ECOSYSTEM will test innovative methodologies focused on supporting territory decision-making processes through knowledge production in the blue sustainable economy field, building on existing results.
The project considers the needs of the quintuple helix stakeholders to enhance innovation and research capacities through a transformative and territorial co-creation approach with the setting of regional accelerator laboratories (the so-called TRAIN labs) in the Balearic Islands, Emilia-Romagna, Région Sud-Occitanie, Zadar County, Alentejo, Attica, Albania.
A subsequent match process at the Mediterranean level will identify transnational challenges and opportunities for the solution acceleration.
THE FOCUS
The focus of the project is the blue economy, understood as all sectoral and cross-sectoral economic activities based on or related to the oceans, seas and coasts.
Each participating region analyses the challenges of the blue economy in its territory (such as blue biotechnologies, marine renewable energies, fishing and aquaculture, ports, shipbuilding, marine robotics, coastal and maritime tourism…) and involves stakeholders of the quintuple helix (industry, goverment, civil society, academia and environment -represented by conservation associations, NGO’s-) towards innovative, sustainable & inclusive solutions, that will be shared to solve Mediterranean challenges.
