ARTEMIS, from pilot actions to Mediterranean-scale impact: MEDSEA at the final conference in Menorca
Three days of discussion on the results of the Interreg Euro-MED project dedicated to seagrass meadow restoration. MEDSEA presented the Sardinian pilot site and the communication work that documented two and a half years of research, experimentation and collaboration across the Mediterranean.
From 8 to 10 June 2026, the Final Conference of the Interreg Euro-MED ARTEMIS project took place in Ciutadella, Menorca, bringing together project partners, researchers, public authorities, businesses, environmental organisations and representatives of local communities.
The three-day event focused on the results achieved and, above all, on the central question that guided the entire conference: what will it take to move seagrass restoration beyond the lifespan of individual projects and isolated local pilot actions?
Wetland4Change, from research to planning: the project’s final meeting in the Camargue
Two days of discussion on wetland-based solutions for carbon sequestration and flood risk reduction. MEDSEA presented the results from the Marceddì–San Giovanni pilot site together with representatives of the Regional Agency of the Sardinian River Basin District.
On 16 and 17 June 2026, the final meeting of the Interreg Euro-MED Wetland4Change project took place in the heart of the Camargue. The project focuses on the role of wetlands in climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Hosted by the Tour du Valat research institute near Arles, the project’s second and final Living Lab brought together scientific partners, public authorities, experts and representatives from the pilot territories to share the results achieved and discuss how the tools developed could be integrated into Mediterranean policies and planning processes.
