Forum
The second Annual Forum of the Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters” will take place on 5 March 2024 in Brussels. The forum will look back at the Mission’s progress and major achievements in mobilising the community towards the goal of protecting our waters. The forum will also prepare the ground for the next phase of the mission, moving from demonstration to deployment.
The Annual Forum is taking place as part of the ‘European Ocean Days’, a weeklong series of events related to European maritime topics. On 4 March, a matchmaking session for Charter action partners will be held. The event will be an opportunity to network with EU Mission projects, philanthropists and Charter signatories.

Networking among the Mission Ocean and Waters community
The Mission Ocean and Waters Forum facilitates networking by providing an online space (in preparation) for Mission actors to engage, exchange ideas, and connect with other participants from Member States, regions, and key stakeholders across all lighthouse areas.
Space to research and gather information
An online space will be created within the Mission Ocean Water service portal. This space will facilitate virtual exchanges and matchmaking among the Mission Ocean and Waters community throughout the year and ahead of upcoming events. The online space is expected to be online in 2024.
Online exchanges (in preparation)
An online space will be hosted within the single portal of the Mission Ocean Water service portal, which will allow participants to prepare for the Forum, facilitating virtual exchanges and matchmaking among the Mission Ocean and Waters Forum participants both before and after it.
