SEA2SEE Final Conference
2026-06-02 08:00 - 17:00
2 June 2026 | Faro, Portugal (Hybrid Event)
The conference will bring together EU-funded projects, policymakers, industry representatives, and civil society actors to discuss transparency, traceability, and sustainability within the European blue food ecosystem. ROSETTA is invited to contribute to Session III – “Synergies with Sister Projects and Initiatives”, a roundtable discussion titled “Collaborating for a Transparent and Sustainable Blue Food Ecosystem.”
The session will focus on the importance of synergies among EU-funded projects, shared challenges and lessons learned in deploying traceability solutions, and opportunities for clustering, scaling, and legacy actions beyond individual project lifecycles. Designed as a forward-looking exchange rather than a traditional presentation, the discussion will explore how collective efforts can strengthen EU policy uptake, market readiness, and consumer trust across food systems.
