BLUE BIO MED contributes to the specific objective 4.1 that aims at supporting
the process of strengthening and developing multilateral coordination
frameworks in the Mediterranean for joint responses to common challenges, with specific reference to the innovation policies for Mediterranean blue bioeconomy.
This is done by bridging the transnational governance realities with
the regional and territorial dimension, using the Agenda 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the common reference grid.

Time to say goodbye
After
2 years of intense and fruitful collaboration to
support better governance of innovation policies by bridging the
transnational governance frameworks active in the Mediterranean area
with regional and national policymaking, it is now time to draw
some conclusions and prepare for the future.
BLUE
BIO MED has been an extremely rich and inspiring journey involving a
wide range of Mediterranean Blue Bioeconomy stakeholders, beyond
the project's core partnership. It has culminated with the launch
of the Mediterranean Innovation Alliance for Sustainable Blue Bioeconomy
(MedIA-SBB). Indeed, the adventure does not stop there. BLUE BIO MED's
spirit will continue to inspire actions and initiatives through the
Alliance.

Policy Experiments
A true pillar of BLUE BIO MED, policy experiments consist of multi-actor workshops where quadruple helix stakeholders
work together in identifying potential activities to tackle sustainable
development challenges. Because these stakeholders operate in different
MED regions and countries, the workshops intend to promote
collaboration across levels of government, and transnationally. Our 4
policy experiments were led by ART-ER, CREDA, IFAPA, and
NCSRD. A summary report of the policy experiments has been produced
as a well as a governance model on how to channel multistakeholder
efforts to address blue bioeconomy sustainability transitions in the
Mediterranean through multi-stakeholder collaboration on innovation.
