Following the first wave covering the Atlantic Ocean and Black Sea, this new round expands to the North Sea, Baltic Sea and Mediterranean Sea.

The Regional Portfolios aim to connect ongoing projects addressing common challenges at sea-basin level, providing a platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration and create regional synergies.

The three Regional Portfolios will focus on:

🌊 North Sea – Exploring nature-based solutions to address cumulative impacts on marine ecosystems while supporting maritime uses.

🌊 Baltic Sea – Strengthening resilience to large-scale events, including infrastructure and ecosystem resilience.

🌊 Mediterranean Sea – Fostering inclusive governance and multi-use coastal and maritime infrastructure for sustainable development.

Projects interested in joining should be active during the Regional Portfolio activities, align with the relevant geographical and thematic scope, and have the capacity and commitment to actively contribute.
