BLUEBIO ALLIANCE webinars

The BLUEBIO ALLIANCE webinar series brings together members and stakeholders to discuss topics relevant to the aquatic biological resources and blue biotechnology sector. Organised periodically throughout the year, and aligned with ongoing projects and initiatives, these sessions aim to strengthen connections within the network.

The webinars provide a platform to showcase the expertise, activities, and innovations developed by the organisations that are part of the BLUEBIO ALLIANCE. By promoting knowledge exchange and dialogue, they contribute to increasing the visibility of the network while fostering collaboration and interaction across the blue bioeconomy sector.
