The biggest event in the SEA-EU calendar returns for its third edition — this time with a refreshing Baltic breeze. For the third time by sea and for the first time in Gdansk, Being SEA-EU Conference will bring 9 coastal academic communities together. Join us from September 15 to 17 and experience SEA-EU in a nutshell — or, more fittingly, in a seashell.
Charting the SEA-EU Horizon
In both Malta and Cádiz, the Being SEA-EU conference aimed to showcase the diverse research conducted across partner universities.Thanks to events like these and many other, scientists from SEA-EU universities were able to establish numerous collaborations, leading to joint publications, projects, and educational activities, among others.
As the second chapter of our Alliance draws to a close, the 3rd “Being SEA-EU” conference will be dedicated to showcasing this ecosystem of collaboration, innovation and excellence nurtured over the seven years of SEA-EU. It will provide an opportunity to take a closer look at the Alliance’s research potential, success stories, best practices, and a shared vision for the next phase of its development.
