The European Maritime Day (EMD), organised by DG MARE in cooperation with the local hosts, is the annual event during which Europe’s maritime community meet to network, discuss and outline joint action on maritime affairs and sustainable blue economy. The programme showcases plenary sessions with keynote speeches on the latest developments of the European maritime policies, workshops organised by maritime stakeholders, an exhibition, etc.
The EMD is the occasion to pay tribute to “maritime Europe” and put all maritime sectors and activities in the spotlight to help European citizens realise the real outreach and variety of sea-related activities going on in Europe and provoke reflection on the crucial role the seas play in our everyday life. The EMD is also the place where ‘Ocean Leaders Meet’. It provides an engaging and interactive experience to catch up on the current state of play on a broad range of issues concerning the blue economy and the marine environment and to discuss ways of moving forward.
More information will be available soon.
