20 projects under EU Mission 'Ocean and Waters' receive technical assistance from top experts

20 projects under the Horizon Europe Mission 'Restore Ocean and Waters' are starting to receive technical assistance from top experts in their field. This technical assistance will help communities across the different sea-basins to scale up and further develop their projects with tailor made and dedicated support.

The selected projects are expected to play an important role in the implementation of the Mission, in particular in the deployment and upscaling phase of the Mission. Specifically, of the 20 selected projects, 15 focus on the first objective of the Mission (biodiversity conservation and restoration), 8 on the second objective (pollution prevention and elimination), and 13 on the third (sustainable blue economy), highlighting their intricacy as some of them simultaneously tackle multiple objectives. The projects have been selected following a call for proposals launched in spring 2024. .
