The United Nations has proclaimed the Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). The primary objective is to protect and promote sustainable and conscious use of the oceans, seas and marine resources.

The BlueNIGHTs project, financed by the European Commission under the HORIZON-MSCA2022-CITIZENS-01 action, aims to strengthen the link between researchers and the area where they live and to make these issues known to the public and young people.
