EuroMarine will organise a hybrid Matchmaking Session on 5 May 2026, from 15:00 to 17:30 CET, open to researchers from the EuroMarine Network.

The session is designed to support EuroMarine members interested in Horizon Europe calls with September 2026 deadlines, by providing a structured space to review selected call topics, identify complementary expertise across the network, and explore opportunities to form EuroMarine‑based consortia.

To ensure focused and effective discussions, members are invited to complete a short expression‑of‑interest survey. Responses will be used to shape the agenda and organise thematic exchanges during the session.

The session is organised by Emma Bello Gomez (ERINN) and Francesc Padrós (UAB).

Indicative topics include:

• HORIZON‑CL6‑2026‑01‑CIRCBIO‑11 – Harnessing marine organisms for sustainable blue bio‑based products
