European Maritime Days Stakeholder Conference, 2010

European Maritime Day is the annual occasion in which the highest representatives of the political Europe speak to the maritime world. The agenda 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.

The Maritime World will meet again in Gijón on 18-21 May 2010. The programme of the European Maritime Day Stakeholder Conference is a result of collaborative efforts between a high number of stakeholders that engaged in the preparation of this annual event. We take this opportunity to thank all organisations which submitted thematic proposals and worked together to come up with a consistent programme of the event in Gijón.
