European Maritime Day

On May 19th and 20th 2022, Ravenna is ready to host EUROPEAN MARITIME DAY (EMD), in a special hybrid edition after a forced long break due to the health emergency.

What is EMD? 

EMD is an acronym created by the Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MARE) and stands for European Maritime Day. It is an event created to celebrate the European Day of the Sea, taking place every year on May 20th.

EMD is a  annual two-day event during which Europe’s maritime community meet to network, discuss and outline joint action on maritime affairs and sustainable blue economy – fundamental themes for the wellness and prosperity of coastal communities. 

The main theme of this year’s edition – which will be discussed by professionals from businesses, governments, public institutions, NGOs and academia – is “Sustainable blue economy for green recovery”.

Ravenna will also host various high-level plenary sessions (about blue economy and marine environment), 24 stimulating interavtive workshops, 3 pitch stage sessions and a lot of networking activities. Moreover, this year EMD will host the 4 plenary sessions of the EU4Ocean Summit and its 4 workshops (on May 20th), focusing on Ocean and Climate, Food from the Ocean and Healthy and Clean Oceans.

The full programme of EMD will run also virtually via video conferencing (via Zoom or similar tool). It will also be possible to watch interviews, highlights from the conference and videos through EMD TV.

Ravenna Seaside Events: Conferences and conventions

In the month before European Maritime Day, the Municipality of Ravenna in collaboration with Centro Europe Direct della Romagna offers a rich calendar of events, meetings and conferences, which are an integral part of EMD in my Country.

The programme includes a series of meetings, conferences and exchange sessions on the environment, economics and socio-cultural discussions related to the sea, with the aim of making the city a large exchange, knowledge and study platform with an active involvement of the whole “sea community“.

The calendar of conferences, meetings and open days comprises more than 30 appointments that will take place until May 24th in Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste and other venues in the city.
