Our first Regional Portfolio #Calls for Interest are underway! 🚢 Launching in two waves in July and September 2026, the Regional Portfolios will bring together ongoing projects working on shared challenges across Europe's sea basins. Over a two-year period, projects will have the opportunity to connect, share knowledge and build regional synergies with other initiatives funded through the Partnership and other national, regional, and EU programmes. Five Regional Portfolios will be established, covering the Atlantic Ocean, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, and North Sea. Participating projects will benefit from increased visibility, new cooperation opportunities, engagement with regional stakeholders, access to networking events, and exchanges with EU experts. Projects interested in joining a Regional Portfolio can submit their expression of interest following the official launch of the calls. An information webinar will be held on 7 October 2026. 📅🌊 Wave 1 launch (Atlantic Ocean and Black Sea): 29 July 2026, 15:00 CEST 📅🌊 Wave 2 launch (Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea and North Sea): 9 September 2026, 15:00 CEST More information: https://lnkd.in/ez59Drr4 #BlueEconomyEU #RegionalCooperation
