Dublin To Host Atlantic Stakeholder Platform Conference This September

#AtlanticStrategy - Croke Park will host the third Atlantic Stakeholder Platform Conference on promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in the Atlantic Area on 27 September.

The annual Atlantic Stakeholder Conference is the central hub for stakeholders of the Atlantic Strategy to make valuable contacts and explore areas for co-operation, share information and good practices, promote and identify interesting project ideas as well as funding opportunities and partnerships for their projects.

The annual conference also offers a transnational publicity opportunity to deliver key messages under the Atlantic Action Plan (AAP) and increase awareness of its achievements.

This third Atlantic Stakeholder Platform conference will focus on topics related to Priority 1 of the AAP – Promote entrepreneurship and innovation – emphasising project development so as to promote activities linked with the Atlantic Best Practices and the Atlantic Project Awards, which will be presentedat the conference and for which the closing date for applications is 15 July.

In addition, the conference wishes to give prominence to the international dimension of the Atlantic Strategy embodied in the Galway Statement and its potential support to the blue economy. The agreement recognises that Atlantic research will in many areas be more effective if co-ordinated on a transatlantic basis.

The call for workshops is now open and free registration for participants is available online HERE.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
