The European Ocean Pact: Sustaining the ocean that sustains us
Brussels, March 2-6, 2026
DesaLIFE will attend the European Ocean Days 2026, which will take place in Brussels during the first week of March.
Organised by the European Commission, the European Ocean Days bring together a wide range of stakeholders—including policymakers, researchers, industry representatives, SMEs, investors, and civil society—to exchange perspectives, address emerging challenges, and support the implementation of the European Ocean Pact through innovation and collaboration.
At this edition, DesaLIFE will be represented by Tania Montoto, Marine Scientist and Project Manager for Innovation, Biodiversity, and Restoration at the Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN), a project partner, with a particular focus on the 2nd Consultation on the European Ocean Research and Innovation Strategy.
DesaLIFE’s participation provides an opportunity to engage with European discussions on oceans, innovation, and sustainability, and to share project perspectives on desalination and blue economy solutions that contribute to a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable use of marine resources.
