<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Registration is now open to the public for the 2nd EU Algae Awareness Summit, taking place on 16–17 October 2025 at the Axica Conference Centre in Berlin, Germany. Following the success of the first-ever EU Algae Awareness Summit, this second edition continues the effort to raise awareness among EU Member State administrations and citizens about the many benefits of algae cultivation, products and services — for regional economies, coastal communities, and the health of our ocean and waters. Organised by EU4Algae in cooperation with the European Commission, the summit will bring together experts, industry leaders, project representatives and citizens to explore successful initiatives, exchange knowledge, and discuss the future of algae in Europe and beyond. The event will feature opportunities for discussion, networking, hands-on activities and exhibitions. Participation is free of charge and open as long as capacity allows. Please note that all registrations are subject to approval by the organisers. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The BlueActionBANOS (BAB) project officially launched on September 1st! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Supported by a consortium of 19 partners, BAB will provide targeted financial assistance, technical guidance, and strategic knowledge-sharing to support the scale-up and deployment of solutions piloted in the early stages of Mission Ocean within the Baltic and North Sea Lighthouse Area. This support will take the form of 5 Community-Led pilot Actions, ranging from EUR 200,000 to EUR 2 million, 20 projects to develop Transition Agendas, with grants of up to EUR 100,000 each, as well as tailored Technical Assistance, leveraging the collective expertise of the consortium and drawing on best practices and advances from the Mission Ocean ecosystem. Throughout the four years, the project will strive to engage blue economy stakeholders and their communities across the Baltic and North Sea. It will equip them with the tools and resources needed to address complex environmental challenges and drive sustainable transformation at local, regional, and national levels. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stay tuned for our first call opening soon!</p>
