Description

The Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP) is a Research and Innovation (R&I) Partnership under the Horizon Europe Programme. The SBEP aims to deliver solutions to strengthen EU and international science-policy interfaces in marine and maritime-related domains of the EU Green Deal and Digital Europe strategies by aligning national, regional, and EU R&I priorities and bringing together science, industry, policy, and civil society. In addition, it will contribute to the EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy and Nature Restoration Law, the Farm to Fork Strategy, the EU mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030”, the Circular Economy Action Plan, the zero pollution ambition and the transformation of Europe’s blue economy towards climate-neutral status by 2050.  

SBEP has released their second joint transnational call “Unified Paths to a Climate-Neutral, Sustainable, and Resilient Blue Economy: Engaging Civil Society, Academia, Policy, and Industry”.  

Objectives: 

This second call aims to support transnational research and innovation projects, which address one of the four priority areas of 1) Digital Twins of the Ocean at regional sub-basin scale; 2) Blue economy sectors, development of marine multi-use infrastructures; 3) Planning and managing sea-uses at the regional level; and 4) Blue Bioresources.  

Eligible applicants: 

A consortium must be composed of eligible partners from at least three different countries participating in the call and requesting financial support from at least three different funding organisations participating in the call. The projects must involve at least two independent legal entities from two different EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries eligible for EU funding in this call for (pre-) proposal. Self-funded partners, including partners from countries (and/or regions) not participating in this co-funded call, are allowed but do not contribute to the minimum eligible consortium size.   

Applicants are strongly encouraged to involve stakeholders (i.e., small, and medium enterprises (SMEs), industries, authorities, public administrations, associations, as well as civil society organisations) as partners or self-funded partners (according to national/regional regulations) in their proposal.
