European Commission launches calls for evidence to shape ocean and water research strategy
By
Directorate-General for Research and Innovation
An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
The European Commission has launched two calls for evidence to inform the development of a future Ocean and Water Research and Innovation (R&I) Strategy, expected to be adopted by the end of 2026. The strategy aims to strengthen Europe's capacity in ocean and water research by addressing fragmented coordination across EU, national, and regional levels, removing barriers to market innovation, and tackling pressures from climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and water scarcity.
