The Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) has launched its first Thematic Portfolio Call for Interest, open until 30 October 2025. This call invites ongoing research and innovation (R&I) projects, whether funded by SBEP or by other national, regional, or EU programmes, to join one of two thematic networking portfolios:

• Sustainable small-scale fisheries

• Algae cultivation and circular blue bioeconomy

Selected projects will collaborate over a two-year period (2026–2028) to shape joint roadmaps, boost their visibility, and gain access to new collaboration opportunities, strategic dialogues, and key SBEP events.
