Blue Economy in the Black Sea was held successfully in Thessaloniki (Greece), on 29 March 2023, organised by the International Centre for Black Sea Studies (ICBSS), under the Horizon 2020-funded BRIDGE \u2013 BS project.<\/p>\n<p>The Science \u2013 Policy Dialogue Forum brought together scientists and policy stakeholders from the wider Black Sea region to exchange on key cross-cutting issues in established and emerging blue economy sectors in the Black Sea.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">The event was developed in three rounds of thematic Working Groups (WGs) of moderated discussions, focusing on i) multistressors on the Black Sea ecosystem, ii) innovation &amp; entrepreneurship, iii) ocean literacy, capacity building &amp; skills, enabling an interactive, constructive dialogue based on actual needs and priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Opening the event on behalf of the organisers, Ms. Georgia CHANTZI, ICBSS Research and Policy Development Manager, underlined the importance of a continuous science-policy exchange to support science-based policy-making in the region, and highlighted the inclusive and tailor-made approach of the BRIDGE-BS project towards this direction.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Keynote speech was delivered by the BRIDGE-BS project co-coordinator, Prof. Dr. Mustafa Y\u00dcCEL, Vice Director of the Institute of Marine Sciences of Middle East Technical University (METU IMS) who outlined the main features of the BRIDGE-BS project and stressed the project\u2019s critical contribution to the science-based policy needed to preserve the Black Sea ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition, Dr. Y\u00fccel presented the regional cooperation frameworks that aim to support substantially the sustainable development of Blue Economy in the Black Sea, such as the Black Sea Common Maritime Agenda (CMA) and the Black Sea Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). With regards to the latter, Dr. Yucel announced the launch of the Black Sea SRIA Implementation Plan, to take place in Brussels, on Thursday 4 May 2023, in the framework of the SEArica Intergroup of the European Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>The Science \u2013 Policy Dialogue Forum hosted&nbsp;<strong>fifty regional and international stakeholders<\/strong>, i.e. policy-makers, policy-delivery stakeholders, researchers, business and academia representatives involved in the blue economy sectors from Black Sea and European countries.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Special emphasis was placed on establishing a&nbsp;<\/span><strong style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">science-policy synergy<\/strong><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">&nbsp;that will facilitate a continuous two-way exchange and further follow-up actions, even beyond the BRIDGE-BS project\u2019s duration.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
