The Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization and the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest are pleased to invite you to the Mission Ocean Infoday. The event will take place at the University of Bucharest, on 16th of June. Please consult the complete agenda here.

The EU Missions are part of the main work programme 2023 under Horizon Europe. This event will feature the Mission Ocean’s specific calls and topics, with the main aim to foster applications in Romania. Joint calls created to favour synergies across Missions and achieve their impacts will also be presented. In addition, the proposed programme is providing for financial aspects related to project implementation and successful applicantions to encourage participation in Horizon Europe.

With a 2030 target, the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters” aims to protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters through research and innovation, citizen engagement and blue investments. The Mission’s new approach will address the ocean and waters as one and play a key role in achieving climate neutrality and restoring nature.

The Mission supports regional engagement and cooperation through area-based “lighthouses” in major sea/river basins: Atlantic-Arctic, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic-North Sea, and Danube-Black Sea. Mission lighthouses are sites to pilot, demonstrate, develop  and deploy the Mission activities across EU seas and river basins.
