Don't miss the BlueMissionMed Hackathon4Ports!

BlueMissionMed is organising the online “Hackathon4Ports” which will take place next 17 September from 11.30 to 13.00 CEST and will focused on the port and cruise sector.  

This activity is carried out taking into account the conclusions and recommendations of the document “DECONTAMINATING THE MEDITERRANEAN – Roadmap 2030 for key economic sectors to fulfil the EU’s mission to restore our oceans and waters through innovative and transformative solutions” as well as the “Operational Implementation Roadmap (OIR)” document. Both documents are available in the “Resources for Stakeholders” section of the BlueMissionMed website.  

Its main objective is to inspire, empower and support stakeholders and professionals in the sector who are interested in contributing to and advancing actions aimed at preventing and/or minimising pollution in our oceans and waters. 

This Hackathon event will be organised to support the generation of innovative ideas in areas where solutions have not yet emerged, or to foster embryonic solutions and strategic partnerships among BMM community members. 

What to expect?

The workshop will focus on the prevention of marine and water pollution by conducting a hackathon focusing on the Port Sector, including Cruise Port Tourism:  

  • Prevention solutions in the Port sector. 
  • Prevention solutions in the Tourism – Port sector. (Mention solutions aimed at the HORECA sector, both in ports and on cruise ships, and solutions with a technological focus). 
  • Monitoring solutions. 
  • Cleaning and elimination/remediation solutions. 
  • Linking solutions with educational activities aimed at promoting positive change in the relationship between society and the ocean. Book: ‘Our Blue Treasure’. For example, entertaining/educational workshops for children on cruise ships using the book ‘Our Blue Treasure’ as a resource and/or awareness-raising games and activities.
