PERMAGOV Kick-off Meeting 21-23 March 2023

The Sea is the Limit – New Project for Folkecenter!

As you probably have read in our previous newsletter, Folkecenter is now part of a new European project called Permagov.

After a first online kick-off meeting which took place in January, last week (21-23 March) we had the chance to join the official kick-off meeting, which took place in Wageningen (the Netherlands). It was very nice to be in presence again, after so long time collaborating online.

EU marine governance gets a boost as new European research project sets sail

EU marine governance must evolve to meet the goals and objectives established in the European Green Deal. A shift is needed from the current largely fragmented nature of marine governance toward a more cross-cutting and agile arrangement, one that is in sync with wider developments taking place at sea, at shores and on land. PERMAGOV, a recently launched Horizon Europe project, sets out to achieve that by piloting a novel multi-level governance approach for various regional seas and national waters around Europe, targeting four areas of key importance to sustainable development: maritime transport, marine energy, marine life, and marine litter.
