What the Ocean and Waters Mission deals with

The goal of the Ocean's Mission is to restore our oceans and waters by 2030.

Man-made changes are putting our ocean and waters at serious risk leading to pollution, biodiversity loss and extreme weather events such as floods, droughts and heatwaves.

Therefore, the 3 Mission objectives are :

  1. Protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity in line with EU biodiversity strategy.
  2. Prevent and eliminate pollution of our ocean, seas and waters in line with the EU action plan towards zero pollution.
  3. Make the blue economy carbon neutral and circular in line with the European Climate law.

Ocean Mission Implementation Plan

The Ocean Mission Implementation Plan aims to be the operational blueprint for how the Commission will deliver on the overall objective of the Mission on Ocean.

EHRI-IP - European Holocaust Research Infrastructure

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure Implementation Phase (EHRI-IP) project was funded under Horizon Europe call topic HORIZON-INFRA-2023-DEV-01-02. The project duration was two years and came to an end in February 2026. The main objective of the EHRI-IP project was to undertake all necessary legal, financial and strategic work to have a permanent organisation or ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) fully operational by the end of the implementation phase. The project consortium consisted of 14 partners from 13 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Kazerne Dossin in this testimonial.
