The coordinator, Dr. V. Takavakoglou, and the project manager, E. Pana, of the PRIMA-funded project Mara-Mediterra, were actively engaged in the Mission Ocean and Waters Forum in Brussels, Belgium, in order to discuss and shape future EU policies and initiatives on the ocean and waters.

The clustering and networking event of the Forum gave the opportunity to Mara-Mediterra to explore synergies and potential cooperations among others with CINEA, Wetlands International, Assembly of European Horticultural Regions, European Landowners’ Organization, Faros University, as well as with relevant Horizon Europe projects, funded under the OCEAN-WATER MISSION, such as the SEACURE and PATH4MED projects.

A key point of the high-level policy Forum, was the presence of PRIMA Director, Octavi Quintana Triasevent, who underscored PRIMA’s active role and transnational dimension, highlighting its decisive contribution towards a Water Resilience Strategy for the EU.
