EU Ocean Days - From Actions to Impact: Tracking the Mission's Progress
The European Ocean Days 2026 is a week-long event (2–6 March 2026) that brings Europe’s blue community together to shape the future of ocean and waters. Strongly linked with the EU Mission Restore Our Ocean and Waters, this multi-stakeholder event offers a platform to align research & innovation policy, investment and community engagement around the shared goals of fighting pollution, restoring ecosystems and accelerating a transition toward a carbon-neutral, circular blue economy.
The aim of the workshop is to discuss available monitoring frameworks and assessments of the impacts of Mission Ocean and Waters activities, at project, lighthouse and EU levels, and discuss the way forward in the context of the Mission’s deployment phase and the funding instruments under the new MFF that can support it (European Competitiveness Fund (ECF), National and Regional Partnership Plans (NRPP)), as well as through national and private investments. This workshop is by invitation.
