1st Mission Arena by Blue Mission BANOS

The SUBMARINER Network, one of the partners of the FLORES project, is organising the Blue Mission BANOS’ 1st Mission Arena, a very relevant event in the Baltic Sea that will take place on 14-16 November in Gothenburg, Sweden at the Lindholmen Conference Centre. Through interactive sessions, workshops, pitching events, demonstrations and networking, the 1st Mission Arena will serve as a laboratory to: 

• Pave the way for innovative blue economy solutions in the Western Baltic
• Showcase local, regional and national approaches for a circular, carbon-neutral blue economy
• Provide concrete pathways for the EU’s Mission Ocean’s success

During this event, the FLORES project will have an active presence, presenting some of its key initiavites:

In the session on “How to close gender-gap in the blue economy”, Susana Baston Meira, from the FLORES partner CETMAR, will talk about the FLORES project and how to have bigger involvement of women in maritime technologies such as ORE (Offshore Renewable Energies).

Marko Kovacevic, PO at the Submariner Network, will be involved in the session about “Skills: what kind of upskilling is needed for the Blue Bioeconomy – How to attract people to the Blue Economy?”. There he will give a short pitch about why students should get involved in ORE, and present to them the resources they may find available through the FLORES project.
