Mapping of the Blue Economy sector

The Blue Economy represents roughly 5.4 million jobs and generates a gross added value of almost €500 billions a year. But what is Blue Economy?

In this professional practice, you will make a mapping of the Blue Economy sector, from coastal tourism, fisheries, aquaculture, maritime transport, to ocean energy, marine biotechnology, and mineral resources. Which companies, organisations, universities, NGOs,… are present in the EU providing blue jobs? Which skills are required in the Blue Economy sector? Via research and surveys, you will make a mapping of the Blue Economy sector. Next to that it is important to make blue job opportunities attractive for young people. How can you promote blue jobs to young people (social media campaign?).
