The European Ocean Days 2026, a week-long event with a series of dynamic and interconnected sessions focused on key ocean-related themes, will take place in Brussels from 2 to 6 March 2026.
Inspired by the European Ocean Pact, the event will bring together industry leaders, startups, investors, policymakers, scientists, SMEs, representatives from fisheries and aquaculture, islands and coastal communities, the Mission Ocean and Waters community, and civil society, including youth voices. Participants will engage in consultations, panel discussions, workshops, and community events to exchange ideas, discuss upcoming challenges, scale up innovative solutions, and jointly pave the way for concrete actions supporting the implementation of the European Ocean Pact.
As a part of the European Ocean Days 2026, the 4th edition of Mission Ocean and Waters Forum will take place on 5 March 2026 to review the Mission’s key achievements, explore innovative Mission project solutions, and contribute to shaping the Mission’s second phase of deployment.
