Cooperation with other organisations with whom we share objectives and concerns is a major thrust for project-based activities in 2014. Among these are major academic, public and civil society organisations. The 2014 programme will again contribute several activities to Campus Plein Sud at the Free University in Brussels (ULB), such as a lunch debate with major personalities about the international dimension of implementing the reform of the European Common Fisheries Policy. One of the academic highlights will be the international roundtable sponsored by the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Vancouver, Canada. We also hope to galvanise young people to protect our oceans through the invitation for international school partnerships to celebrate World Oceans Day 2014 together under the auspices of Mrs. Maria Damanaki, member of the European Commission. Come with us on the journey.
