UPWELLING

The UPWELLING project addresses critical challenges facing the Atlantic blue economy, including the skills gap, limited access to marine infrastructure, and weak collaboration among stakeholders. To bridge these gaps, UPWELLING establishes a transnational network and the UPWELLING Academy. This academy will offer specialised training in emerging marine technologies and facilitate prototyping activities, empowering SMEs and startups while nurturing a new generation of skilled professionals.

The UPWELLING Academy LMS will serve as a gateway for participants to engage in thematic Hackathons and access the Proof of Concept. Participation in the Hackathons are open to everyone, regardless of whether they have previously completed the UPWELLING Academy training.

Key outputs include a digital platform integrating marine infrastructure services and job offers, an Academy offering specialised training programs, collaborative hackathons, proof-of-concept activities, and a wealth of educational resources.
