ProgrammesThe European Commission has launched a call for applications to join the European Ocean Board, which will advise on the European Ocean Pact. The call is open for four weeks and seeks professionals in ocean sustainability and maritime industries to contribute to sustainable ocean governance.
The European Ocean Board will consist of 25 appointed experts for a five-year term, with its first meeting planned for March 2026. This Board will offer guidance on the European Ocean Pact's implementation, focusing on the effective management of ocean-related challenges and ensuring coherence across various EU initiatives and private sector actions. The European Ocean Pact, implemented in 2025, outlines a vision for resilient and sustainably managed oceans, aiming to protect marine ecosystems and promote a sustainable blue economy while enhancing maritime security
Importantly, the Board will be integral to the upcoming ocean observation initiative, which supports ocean knowledge, research and innovation, ocean literacy, and the maritime economy.
Interested parties should visit the European Commission's website for more information on the application process.
