Coalition for Blue Economy online launch
June 8 @ 14:00 - 17:00
CO-WATERS, a project under the Horizon Europe, invites you to the online launch event of the Coalition of cities, regions, islands and ports for the Mission Ocean and Waters, taking place on 8 June 2026 at 14:00 CEST.
About CO-WATERS
CO-ACQUI is a Horizon Europe project running from 2025-2029, empowering waterfront cities, regions, islands, ports and their local partners and stakeholders to lead the transition to clean, healthy, and resilient marine and freshwater systems. Backed by 17 partners, including Climate KIC, the project supports the targets of the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030” and aligns with the European Ocean Pact.
About the event
The event will introduce the Coalition and provide an overview of the services delivered by CO-WATERS to support Coalition members in advancing their sustainable blue transition and contributing to the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030”.
The second part of the event will offer participants a first interactive preview of the upcoming Sensemaking Workshops. Through short inputs from pilot territories and facilitated discussions, participants will explore how peer learning can help transform shared challenges into actionable insights and future collaboration.
The event is open to both Coalition members and non-members interested in joining. Participants will also get a sneak peek of one of CO-WATERS’ upcoming services: the interactive Sensemaking Workshops, designed to support peer learning and knowledge exchange across territories.
Perché partecipare?
Across Europe, waterfront communities are already taking action to restore marine and freshwater systems. However, scaling impact requires stronger cooperation, access to practical tools, and structured support.
This online event will:
- Provide an interactive preview of the sensemaking approach
- Introduce the purpose and objectives of the Coalition
- Explain who can join and how membership works
- Present the CO-WATERS service offer and how to access it
