The B2E CoLAB has been invited to join the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Blue Economy network of experts. This invitation reinforces the Laboratory for the Blue Bioeconomy’s commitment to advancing the sustainable blue economy and marks a significant moment of strategic collaboration between the two entities. “Inclusion in the Jean Monnet Centre’s network of experts is a recognition of the B2E CoLAB’s expertise and its active contribution to driving research, innovation, and actions towards a more sustainable future,” says Maria Coelho, executive coordinator of the B2E CoLAB, adding: “We are very excited to collaborate and contribute our knowledge.”

The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Blue Economy, based in Slovenia, was created in March 2022 at the Euro-Mediterranean University (EMUNI) and promotes interactions within the knowledge triangle (academia-politics-society) related to the theme of the blue economy, both in how it unfolds in the European Union and in its relationship with the Mediterranean region.

This collaboration with B2E CoLAB will allow for the exchange of knowledge between the two entities, fostering joint research, innovation, and technology transfer projects. The goal is to amplify information about the importance of a sustainable blue economy and create tangible actions to address global concerns related to the oceans and their preservation.

The alliance between B2E CoLAB and the Jean Monnet Center highlights the power of collaboration between organizations that share similar values ​​and a common vision for a more sustainable future.
