The conference is organised by the European Commission in close cooperation with the Secretariat of the Union for the Mediterranean. Six thematic sessions will focus on different maritime sectors: research and innovation, coast guard cooperation, sustainable growth,  governance, maritime transport and training institutes, and tourism.

The outcomes of the conference will feed into a European Commission  initiative for the sustainable development of the blue economy in the western Mediterranean, which will be launched in spring this year.
