Kateryna Urbanovych of @northseaac discovered her passion for the ocean while doing a bachelor's degree in natural sciences. As she explored everything from zoology to paleontology, one area stood out the most: marine conservation 🌊🐠🪸♻️ Interview >> permagov.eu/post/women-in-…

Do you think marine arrangements are well suited to the green transition? To improve fit with EU Green Deal, actors need to build governance capabilities needed to overcome institutional barriers and pursue collaborative outcomes. Our model explains how. permagov.eu/post/multi-lay…

Case study on floating offshore wind in the #CelticSea recently had its stakeholder workshop. Participants agreed the sector has potential to drive governance innovation and deliver environmental, social, and economic benefits to the region. permagov.eu/marine-energy

What does the world's largest Smart City event and marine governance have in common? permagov.eu/post/permagov-…

What's the best way to govern offshore wind in the context of the energy transition and the European Green Deal? That's the topic of our upcoming workshop. 📅 23-24 October 2025 📍 Hurup (DK) and online permagov.eu/post/workshop-… #OffshoreWind #GreenTransition #RenewableEnergy

📣 New PERMAGOV paper presents a conceptual model for evaluating change and innovation in #marinegovernance brought about by the #EuropeanGreenDeal 🔎🌊🇪🇺🍃 The framework shows how marine governance needs to be rearranged to achieve EGD objectives. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ee…

Ports of Koper, Rijeka, Trieste, Venice and Ravenna are increasingly transitioning into multifaceted hubs for energy provision, storage and production. This expanded role requires greater collaboration and policy alignment within European Maritime Space. permagov.eu/post/north-adr…

Diagnosing institutional barriers in #marine plastic governance 🩺🚧🌊 PERMAGOV diagnostic tool helps identify institutional barriers and link them to specific design attributes that not only cause the problem but also offer avenues for improvement. permagov.eu/post/diagnosin…

#MARE2025 finished last month, but the positive vibe is still resonating🎶 Together we are the driving force for better marine governance 💪🌊 Not just in words, also in action.. Learn about our contribution from presentation abstracts 😊 permagov.eu/post/transform…

With MARE conference in full swing, we are excited to announce another panel by PERMAGOV. This time we'll be exploring, in 10 presentations, transformation of marine governance under the European Green Deal. permagov.eu/post/transform…

Going to the MARE conference? Want to know about conflicts & trade-offs in #OceanGovernance? Come to our joint session on Tue 24 Jun @ 17:30-19:00, where we will present the latest research on the topic carried out by 5️⃣EU #marine projects. permagov.eu/post/conflict-…

We are leaving Nice after having fabulous time at #OOSC2025. 💬Judith: Such interdisciplinary conversations must happen more often. 💬Ben: We should spend more time investigating effectiveness of governance solutions. 💬Pavel: Global marine challenges are surprisingly similar.

Judith van Leeuven presenting our model of innovation & change in marine governance. The model is the brainchild of @Carolijnvnoort who co-produced this result with contributions from the wider PERMAGOV community. permagov.eu/_files/ugd/725… #OneOceanScienceCongress #OOSC2025

How can we address bycatch and improve compliance with the landing obligation? 🚢🪝🦈 Thanks to onboard and in-trawl cameras, IoT sensors, AI and ML, we have a technical pathway to manage these issues better. #OneOceanScienceCongress #OOSC2025 permagov.eu/_files/ugd/725…

Imagine.. the ocean gave you power to improve marine governance ✨🌊 Which institutional barriers would you try to improve? We developed a diagnostic tool for identifying barriers in shipping, offshore wind, and management of MPAs, seabed & marine litter. permagov.eu/_files/ugd/725…

PERMAGOV at the One Ocean Science Congress 🌊 We are thrilled to be joining thousands of marine enthusiasts like you at this year's #OOSC in Nice, France. See you at the biggest and most consequential event of the year!
