Conference

A match-making event that brings together innovators and the financial community to sustainably develop the Blue Economy of the Mediterranean Sea basin, while protecting its marine resources.

The OECD projects that the global maritime economy will grow at twice the rate of the mainstream economy by 2030. The potential of the Blue Economy for sustainable growth and job creation around the Mediterranean Sea basin can play a significant role in stabilizing the region, whilst safeguarding its unique natural and cultural capital.

The theme for this year’s conference is Thriving or Surviving – Creating Resilient Fisheries. 

The branch has put together a programme of talks that incorporates sessions from the freshwater, transitional and marine environments. Conference sessions will cover a wide range of topics over the three days including

Around 30% of the world's reefs are considered to be already  severely damaged by human activity, and climate models predict a regular bleaching of nearly 90% of all reefs by the middle of the century.

The 2018 European edition of this conference will run under a new title ‘High Energy Mariculture Europe’, an international two-day conference focused on the offshore fish farming business, to be held in Corfu, Greece from 17th to 19th October.

The next (2019) edition of the EurOCEAN conference will take place on 11-12 June 2019, in Paris (France), hosted by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (7 place Fontenoy - 75007 Paris, France) and managed by the European Marine Board.

The 67th annual meeting of the British Phycological Society will take place at the Scottish Association for Marine Sciences, Oban, Scotland. The call for abstracts and registration will open in mid-September. The meeting will feature its traditional “general phycology” session, and plenary student session with prizes for best talk and best poster, named after Irene Manton. We will also host three exciting symposia on 1) interactions with microbiomes and grazers, 2) algal physiology in the lime light, and 3) blue carbon.

ALGAEUROPE offers an unique opportunity for the exchange between academia and industry. The conference will be established in a networking based environment that allows discussions on the evolution of the Algae Biomass sector worldwide and understand the role of the main European Players.
