26 Mar 2025 / Events

The countdown has begun for the Marine Biodiversity Cluster Event, a pivotal gathering of EU-funded projects dedicated to restoring and protecting marine biodiversity and reducing bycatch. This high-impact event will take place in Brussels on 13–14 March 2025, bringing together key actors from research, policy, and stakeholder communities.

Co-organized by BioAgora, B-USEFUL, the European Commission (DG RTD, DG MARE, DG ENV & REA), Eklipse, and HIFMB, the event will serve as a platform for:

  • Fostering synergies between marine conservation projects to enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange.
  • Strengthening the science-policy interface by engaging directly with policymakers to translate research into actionable strategies.
  • Shaping future actions to maximize the impact of science-driven solutions on EU biodiversity policies.

This event represents a significant opportunity to align ongoing research with policy priorities, ensuring that marine biodiversity protection remains at the forefront of European environmental action.

Stay tuned for further updates! We will be sharing key highlights and outcomes from the event in the coming weeks.
