The blue economy contributes 1.5 per cent of the EU’s gross domestic product and provides almost 2.5 per cent of total jobs in the EU. In addition to fishing, tourism, port activities and maritime transport, which are well-established sectors in the blue economy, there are also emerging sectors such as marine renewable energies, the use of the seabed for critical infrastructures and marine biotechnology, among others.
Bringing students and young professionals closer to leading companies in the sustainable blue economy is the aim of the Blue Careers Day 2025 job fair. The day includes networking sessions, quick interviews and activities designed to facilitate contact between students and companies and entities related to marine energy, naval engineering, naval engineering and environmental consultancy.
The proposal is promoted by the UB Chair on Sustainable Blue Economy and is aimed at students in the final year of a university degree or a master’s or doctorate, as well as people who have graduated in the last five years, with training and professional interests in the marine world. For participants, Barcelona Activa has an online preparatory session, which will be held on 19 March prior to the Blue Careers Day.
Registration is open and can be done online.
