PREP4BLUE, the first project funded under Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’, concludes

30/05/2025 ERINN Innovation
After three successful years, the PREP4BLUE project ended in May 2025. PREP4BLUE was the first project to be funded under EU Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030’ (the Mission) - a visionary initiative which aims to protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters through research and innovation, citizen engagement and blue investments.

PREP4BLUE’s overarching objective was to lay the foundations and facilitate a successful first phase (2022-2025) of the Mission. Through co-development and co-creation with stakeholders, the project delivered a series of communication tools, guidelines, methodologies and recommendations that can be used by Mission funded projects to achieve the Mission objectives and inspire citizens and stakeholders alike.

Across five technical Work Packages, PREP4BLUE delivered a range of resources including:
  1. Communications tools and resources to support Mission-funded projects and Mission Charter signatories looking to enhance their digital media skills and storytelling.
  2. Innovative tools and resources for planning citizen engagement activities in marine and freshwater projects.
  3. Knowledge Management tools and approaches for accelerating the uptake and impact of solutions.
  4. Tools for accelerating public and private investment in Mission solutions.
  5. Practical tools and resources and resources for driving stakeholder engagement with the Mission.
An overview of the project’s outputs has been captured in a Key Achievements Booklet, which is available on the project website here. The project video can be viewed here.

The tools and resources developed will be of interest to a range of stakeholders including Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’ project beneficiaries, Charter signatories and anyone working on aquatic research in Europe, policy makers at all levels, industry actors and NGOs.

The resources are free to all and will remain available on the project website (www.prep4blue.eu) after the project has ended. A recording of the project’s Final Conference is accessible here.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
