Despite the recent challenges facing in the region, this first year was still a success with the implementation of:

✔ 5 Living Lab in 4 countries,

✔ 132 stakeholders participating in 8 workshops,

✔ a task coordinated by AUEB in close collaboration with country leaders.

The Virtual Blue Career Center and Black Sea Ocean Literacy Network’s online directory have been recently launched, while 8 new PhDs are actively working on BRIDGE-BS contributing to the development of blue skills for the region.
