Beyond borders: Marine Forests at the Intersection of Science, Economy, and Culture
The event brings together science, economy, art, and gastronomy to showcase regional marine forests, highlighting their ecological and cultural value. Through a multidisciplinary dialogue and a culinary experience, it seeks to foster a broader understanding of and connection to these habitats, bringing scientific knowledge closer to citizens in an experiential and participatory way. All of this takes place within a framework of cross-border collaboration.
The event is sponsored by the Embassy of Spain in Portugal. It is being co-organized by CIIMAR and the Oceanographies Collective. In addition, it is supported by the Matosinhos City Council and the research projects ACTNOW (EU Horizon Europe, Grant No. 101060072) and FunSea (FCT – COMPETE2030 – FEDER-00873400).
