The EurOCEAN 2023 conference will take place this week on 10 -11 October 2023 as an in-person event in Vigo, Spain. PREP4BLUE partners from EUROMARINE, MaREI and ERINN Innovation will attend to represent the project, learn more about the work being done to support the objectives of the EU Mission: Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030 and explore opportunities for collaboration with other Mission stakeholders.
