Climate Neutral, Sustainable & Productive Blue Economy (SBEP)
Partnership website: https://bluepartnership.eu/
The proposed partnership will enable a just and inclusive transition to a climate-neutral, sustainable and productive blue economy through key intervention areas providing for a healthy ocean, the wellbeing of citizens, and a blue economy that is in harmony with nature and whose benefits are distributed fairly.
The SBEP targets the Green Deal and Digital Europe objectives and contributes to the Global Earth Observing System, by mobilising relevant quadruple helix stakeholders who will co-create and co-deliver knowledge-based solutions and innovative governance models, and by combining financial resources for joint transnational calls and resources for other activities.
The integration of sea-basins initiatives and strategies will ensure that impact is delivered at local, regional, national and international levels.

What are partnerships?
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
How to use partnerships?
-
orientation
Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points. -
networking
Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents. -
ecosystem analysis
Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain. -
steering the agenda
Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.
