What COASTAL is all about?

COASTAL is an EC funded 4-year Horizon 2020 research and innovation action to formulate and evaluate business solutions and policy recommendations aimed at improving the coastal-rural synergy to foster rural and coastal development while preserving the environment.

Since our recent 1st newsletter in April several things have happened in COASTAL. The project has passed its first year in May. Read about how the consortium marked its 1st anniversary with the 1st Annual Meeting in Methoni, Greece.

Furthermore, from the 2nd issue of our newsletter you can get to know:

What are the latest developments in our project?

The project is organised around interacting Multi-Actor Labs (MALs), combining tools  and expertise for six case studies representing the major coastal regions in  the EU territory. Currently, partners are completing their second round of workshops with selected stakeholders representing the land- and sea-based economic  operators, stakeholders and administrations.

  • Read highlights of the Multi-Actor Labs, we give insights to events in some of our MALs.

What are the latest deliverables in COASTAL?

Where and how are we networking?
