We are pleased to share that Ms. Nikolopoulou and Mr. Tsamparis participated in the 3rd Marine Spatial Planning Cooperation Workshop for Maritime Silk Road Partner Countries and the Conference of the Marine Spatial Planning Partnership, held in Beijing, China at the end of September.

The event, organized by the China Oceanic Development Foundation (CODF),brought together over 300 participants, including legislators, stakeholders, researchers from various countries, and directors of Chinese institutes under the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Their participation provided a unique opportunity to highlight ongoing research on Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), particularly in the context of the EU-funded CONTRAST project. The presence ofhigh-level decision-makers and scientific peers made this a highly rewarding and impactful experience.
