In the week starting 12th December Rome received a huge influx of "algae-related" tourists.

The "Synergies and Clustering" community organised a workshop on "Algae and Blue Bioeconomy" at the Crowne Plaza St-Peter's Rome Hotel on 12 December 2022 from 9:30 to 12:30. The workshop took place as a live event upon invitation only.

The workshop explored exchange of information, synergies and clustering between projects dealing with algae as well as with the blue bioeconomy in general. The project may be funded by both the EMFF/EMFAF and other funding programmes. The main goal was to establish a framework to foster information exchange, networking and cooperation across projects and beneficiaries.

After the workshop, EU4Algae's first public event took place, which lasted from 14:00 to 17:00.

Finally, from 13 to 15 December Rome also hosted AlgaEurope 2022!
