The Energy Transition Partnership (ETP) for the EU Fisheries and Aquaculture sector, under the European Commission (DG MARE), is pleased to invite you to our upcoming series of workshops, "Navigating the Energy Transition: Strategic Goals for Resilient and Sustainable Fisheries Fleet." These hybrid events will take place on December 11–12, 2024, in Brussels (Thon Hotel) and online.

• 11 Dec 2024: Navigating the Energy Transition: Strategic Goals for Resilient / Sustainable Small-Scale Coastal Fisheries, In Brussels (Thon Hotel) and online, 9:30-13:30. Find the agenda here.
• 11 Dec 2024: Navigating the Energy Transition: Strategic Goals for Resilient / Sustainable Large-Scale Fisheries, In Brussels (Thon Hotel) and online, 14:30-18:30. Find the agenda here.
• 12 Dec 2024: Navigating the Energy Transition: Strategic Goals for Resilient / Sustainable Distant Waters Fleet, In Brussels (Thon Hotel) and online, 9:30-13:30. Find the agenda here.

This workshop is part of a series of events organised by the ETP and aims to comprehensively explore the key challenges in the context of the energy transition. It will explore strategies for achieving energy transition goals across three key fleet segments: Small-Scale Coastal Fisheries, Large-Scale Fisheries, and Distant Waters Fleet. Each session will bring together experts from industry, policy and stakeholder organisations to discuss sustainable practices and innovative solutions for achieving energy efficiency within the fisheries sector. Participants will have the opportunity to develop concrete solutions together and recommendations to support decarbonisation efforts in the sector to gather stakeholders’ views that help shape the Energy Transition roadmap. We look forward to your participation!

About the ETP

The ETP promotes sustainable development through cooperation, knowledge sharing and dialogue with the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The ETP brings together experts from fisheries, aquaculture, ports, the fishing shipbuilding industry, processing sectors, NGOs, research institutions, and others to share sustainable energy solutions and best practices. 

With the support of the recently launched ETP assistance mechanism, the partnership coordinates discussions across 5 thematic areas, led by the newly appointed Support Group Coordinators—key stakeholders and ETP community members. Working groups focusing on each of the thematic areas will be formed within this community to provide recommendation to the future Energy Transition roadmap to be published by the end of 2025.
