The European Commission's European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) 2024 call for proposals targets two key areas to promote the sustainable growth of the EU’s blue economy.

With EUR 5.7 million, the call for proposals seeks to fund regional flagships projects supporting sustainable blue economy in EU sea basins for Smart Specialisation, as well Regenerative Ocean Farming and Algae Innovation.

European seas and coasts have great potential to foster innovation and technological development. The EU blue economy is poised for growth over the coming years, driven by the transition to a sustainable and circular economy, the ambitious net-zero climate targets and a focus on innovation and research.

Applicants can submit their proposals until 18 February 2025, 17:00 CET.
