BlueMed launches call for Start-up Action

Water Environment & Blue Economy

The BlueMed initiative is launching a new Call for Start-up Action.  The Start-up Actions represent concrete opportunities to explore innovative, knowledge-based pathways and forward-looking visions with a multidisciplinary, mission-oriented approach, for further uptake and developments.  The BlueMed initiative is one of the main line of actions within the UfM Ministerial on Blue Economy.

Addressed to entities who are willing to partner up with at least three other organisations from different countries, including one non-EU country and one private enterprise, the Call will fund the organization of a series of meetings leading up to a feasibility, foresight or pilot study on topics that are crucial to the future of Blue Growth in the Mediterranean driven by the BLUEMED Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda.

Interested parties are invited to carefully read the Terms of Reference laying out all the conditions for applying.

Each selected partnership will receive up to 32,000 Euros to cover the costs of the organisation of three workshops leading to the drafting of the studies.

Deadline for submission is Monday the 16th of July 2018.
Call and application form available here: http://www.bluemed-initiative.eu/start-up-actions/.
Please give the widest dissemination to the call through your networks.
For info please contact startupactions@bluemed-project.eu.
