Plastic and Planetary Health
see more
This 48-hour workshop will bring together 20 international scientists to lay the groundwork for a scientific report on “Plastics and Global Health”, which aims to increase the understanding of scientists, policy makers and civil society on how the uncontrolled production of plastics and the unregulated disposal of chemically-laden plastic waste is harming the planet, fouling the oceans, damaging the ecosystems that support all life on earth, and ultimately causing human illness, disability and premature death in countries around the world.

World Plastics Summit
see more
The theme of this inaugural summit is: Fostering global collaboration to accelerate plastics recycling and redesign.
The plastics pollution crisis is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. While plastic pollution is a global problem, research and innovation in this area is not yet globally connected. However, the steps to ultimately tackle this problem will necessitate collaboration and perspective on a global scale.To that end, the first annual World Plastics Summit is being organized to assemble international research leaders in plastics recycling and redesign in Monaco. This meeting will be held on March 24-26 at the Novotel Monte Carlo Hotelas part of the prestigiousMonaco Ocean Week 2022.

Seaweed Day
see more
The Seaweed Day will cast light on one of the most promising regenerative ocean industry: seaweed. The event will propose a series of presentations by world-class experts discussing the potential of seaweed, its ecosystem services – with a focus on blue carbon and biodiversity, and the growing momentum around seaweed in Europe and Australia. The event will also feature numerous presentations from seaweed companies developing innovative products like bio-packaging, plant-based seafood or animal feed. Many seaweed products will be displayed in the event so the public can “touch” the diversity of applications of seaweed.
