Ocean and Water

Ireland has surpassed €1.07bn in Horizon Europe funding, with €94.3m supporting marine and maritime research. This strong performance underpins efforts linked to the EU Mission to Restore Our Ocean and Waters and the emerging Ocean Pact. Key initiatives include innovative projects across energy, ecosystems, and sustainable materials, alongside preparations for the PHAROS Mega Event in May 2026. Together, these developments highlight Ireland’s leadership in marine research, collaboration, and innovation, positioning it as a key contributor to Europe’s green and digital transitions.
