The Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme invites project partners, institutions, researchers and all stakeholders involved in Black Sea cooperation to join the Common Maritime Agenda (CMA) Black Sea Stakeholder Conference, taking place on 30 September 2026 in Bulgaria.

As part of the CMA Black Sea Week, the conference will bring together a diverse community of actors committed to the sustainable future of the region. It will offer a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and discuss shared priorities for a resilient, and competitive blue economy.

Throughout the week, participants will take part in workshops, networking sessions, and thematic discussions. These activities will connect policy, research, and practice, creating space for meaningful dialogue and cooperation across the region.

We encourage our beneficiaries and partners to join the conference, present their experience, and contribute to the exchange of good practices. The Poster exhibition and the Black Sea Project Awards 2026 will also provide an opportunity to showcase projects that are delivering concrete results for the Black Sea Basin.

Registrations are now open until 15 September 2026. Interested beneficiaries and partners in Black Sea cooperation are warmly invited to take part in this regional gathering and help shape the next steps for the Common Maritime Agenda.
