The University of Almería will host a summer course titled “Almería and the Future of the Circular Blue Economy” from July 8 to 11, 2025. The course aims to strengthen innovation and sustainability across Almería’s marine sectors.

Led by María Isabel Sáez and María del Mar Plaza, the programme features both theory and hands-on sessions on topics like open data, port sustainability, and marine renewable energy.

This initiative complements local efforts such as the plastic-to-biodiesel project, where marine waste is repurposed to fuel fishing vessels—highlighting how Blue Circular Economy principles are already being applied in the region.

These developments represent Almería’s growing leadership in sustainable innovation, combining environmental protection with economic growth.
