Themed afternoon at the boat show 2023: Scientific Diving

Speakers from Greece, Malta and Germany will give an insight into ongoing underwater research projects in the fields of archaeology, geology, freshwater and marine biology and diving medicine. The aim of the event is to increase the visibility of Scientific Diving as a highly qualified education, to raise awareness among policy makers for the promotion, support, development and professional recognition of Scientific Diving and to develop a network of stakeholders from academia, Blue Economy, diving organisations and national and European authorities.

As part of the EU project “ScienceDiver”, the new online job platform “BlueCareers” will be presented here for the first time, for all those who would like to be active in the field of science and the job market of the Blue Economy under water.
