WMU 2025 International Conference: Advancing the Blue Economy through Gender Equality

Despite recent progress toward gender equality, women remain underrepresented across the blue economy sector, hence the World Maritime University (WMU) will address this issue at an international conference from 19-21 May 2025 on "Advancing the Blue Economy through Gender Equality." The Conference aims to highlight the importance of gender equality as a driver of sustainable growth across maritime, ocean science, fisheries, and other blue economy sectors.

The conference will feature experts from around the world and will include:

• Dynamic Panels - Thought leaders and experts will share their visions and insights on the importance of gender equality in achieving sustainable development.
   
• Interactive Workshops - Following each session, workshops will encourage teamwork and innovation, exploring the future of the blue economy through tackling pressing challenges.
   
• Deep Dive Project Session - Learn how maritime education and training in Africa can play a crucial role in shaping the blue economy and promoting gender equality.
