WIN-BIG to take the stage at European Maritime Day 2025 in Cork!
We are thrilled to announce that the WIN-BIG project will once again play an active role at the EMD2025, which will be held from 21 to 23 May in Cork, Ireland!
The European Maritime Day is one of the most important annual gatherings for Europe’s maritime community, bringing together policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and ocean advocates to discuss the future of our seas. This year, WIN-BIG is proud to contribute to the conversation on creating a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable Blue Economy.
On Thursday, 22 May, during the workshop titled "BuE Women Champions Take the Stage at EMD2025!", our very own Helena Vieira and Mariana Mata Lara will present key insights and preliminary results from WIN-BIG’s ongoing research and activities.
Their presentation will spotlight:
✅ How women are making an impact across Blue Economy sectors, from marine research to maritime industries.
✅ The challenges that still need to be overcome to achieve gender equality.
✅ WIN-BIG’s actions to empower women, build professional skills, and promote leadership opportunities across all EU
sea basins.
The workshop will also serve as a platform to highlight the importance of gender balance for sustainable ocean governance and innovation and to share real-world success stories from women shaping the future of the Blue Economy.
