BRIDGE-BS aims to advance the Black Sea’s marine research and innovation to co-develop Blue Growth pathways under multi-stressors for the sustainable utilization of ecosystem services. To do so it will develop an ecosystem-based management framework to enable policy uptake and foster citizen engagement.
Save the date for the BRIDGE-BS Final Conference! After four and a half years of collaboration, innovation, and groundbreaking marine research, the BRIDGE-BS project has reached a critical phase in advancing the implementation of the Black Sea Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, paving the way for joint
Previous Next BRIDGE-BS Scientific Dive Held along Istanbul’s Black Sea Coast! As part of the BRIDGE-BS project, our partner TÜDAV hosted a week-long scientific diving training from 25 to 31 July aboard their research vessel TÜDAV MARU off the Black Sea coast of İstanbul.The program
Previous Next Underwater Radionuclide Sensor was deployed in the Black Sea by BRIDGE-BS partners HCMR and IO-BAS in Varna! As part of the BRIDGE-BS project, an underwater radionuclide sensor was successfully tested and calibrated in the lab and in a water tank. Unlike older systems,
BRIDGE-BS Policy Workshop for a “2030 Blue Roadmap for the Black Sea” was organised successfully! On 1 July 2025, the BRIDGE-BS Policy Workshop for the “2030 Blue Roadmap for the Black Sea” was successfully held in Athens, Greece, organised by the BRIDGE-BS partners, International Centre
BRIDGE-BS will advance knowledge and deliver research under three NODES: Service Dynamics, Blue Growth Incubators, and Empowered Citizens. The NODES will be highly interlinked, feeding on and into each other.
Pilot sites are unique venues for the focused implementation of BRIDGE-BS in a cross-cutting manner. Specific forecasts of ecosystem services under the influence of multi-stressors and co-designed Blue Growth scenarios will be investigated in the 8 pilot sites. Interactions with stakeholders and communities will take place among the coastal communities in these sites. Last but not least, Blue Growth incubator activities will focus on these sites.
BRIDGE Black Sea will develop the decision support tools necessary for the generation and implementation of holistic and adaptive management to identify the safe operating space under Node 1: Service Dynamics. Node 2: Blue Growth Incubators will use to identify services that can support sustainable Blue Growth in the Black Sea by strengthening resource management, developing and applying innovative technologies as well as supporting innovative start-ups and business models to create added value and jobs. Through Node3: Empowered Citizens, BRIDGE Black Sea will create a connected Black Sea community, strengthened by a new generation of researchers and innovators to address emerging Black Sea challenges.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101000240.
