On 18-21 May 2010, Gijón (Asturias, Spain) will host European Maritime Day (EMD). This stakeholder event is co-organised by the European Commission, the Spanish Presidency of the European Union and the Government of the Principality of Asturias.
European Maritime Day was established to highlight the crucial role played by the Oceans and Seas, and contribute to a better visibility of the maritime sectors and more recognition of the importance they play in everyday life.
EMD 2010 includes political sessions and more than 50 workshops focussing on six main directions of the Integrated Maritime Policy described in the Progress Report of the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy of 15 October 2009, and in particular on sustainable economic growth, employment and innovation, cross-cutting policy tools, sustainability and the governance of sea basins.
In addition, a large number of side events are taking place, e.g. conferences, workshops, debates and exhibitions.
We warmly invite you to take part in the European Maritime Day 2010.
