As part of FAUP's participation in the SeaLabHaus project - 'Atlantic New Bauhaus Laboratory for Sustainable, Inclusive and Beautiful Blue Tourism, Heritage and Culture of the Sea', funded by the INTERREG - Atlantic Area Program, the II Transnational Forum on Sea and Sustainability will be held on July 4 and 5, 2024, at FAUP.

The Forum will be a time for meetings, debates and activities to co-create innovative strategies and practices to support the development of sea-related tourism.

This is also the moment when representatives of the partner organizations and the Regional Action Group will have the opportunity to visit some of the sites previously selected by FAUP researchers and learn about projects and practices that suggest alternatives for reconciling the economic dynamics associated with tourism with awareness of its environmental impacts, both on the sea and the built environment and on coastal communities.
