Dissemination Phase Sun&Blue Research
Sun&Blue Research is born as a specialized section within Sun&Blue Congress, focused on promoting and exchanging knowledge around tourism and the blue economy.
This space is conceived as a meeting and debate forum for academics and researchers committed to the conservation and economic valorization of large aquatic ecosystems, with special attention to the role of the tourism industry.
It also seeks to strengthen the links between the university environment and the professional sector, fostering collaboration between researchers, companies and tourism institutions to generate a real impact on the sustainable development of the marine and coastal environment.
