The Master

The Advanced Master in Sustainable Blue Economy is jointly organized by the University of Trieste and the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics – OGS. The Master is addressed to researchers, scientists and managers. The aim of the Master is to support the creation of stable and attractive career pathways and highly skilled talents that will be needed to support expanding marine and maritime sectors. The focus of the Master is on strengthening professional skills and enhancing competencies in fields related to the blue economy.

The 2022-2023 6th edition of the Master will be the first with a new name! Originally called « Advanced Master in Sustainable Blue Growth, the Master has changed its name following new approach for a sustainable blue economy in the EU, launched in May 2021 by the European Commission, focusing on the industries and sectors related to oceans, seas and coasts.  A sustainable blue economy is essential to achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal and ensuring a green and inclusive recovery from the pandemic.
