The Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) and more in particular the Maritime Innovation, Marine Knowledge and Investment unit (A1) is facilitating this platform to enhance contacts with stakeholders and give the Maritime Forum communities the opportunity to grow and play a more active role at this level.

Communities of the Maritime Forum can organise events by using this platform. They will promote their event by putting the announcement and invitation for registration on the Maritime Forum website.  An event space will then be opened for the event on this platform.

All events on the platform will be organised in the following way:

• Participants must register for the event.

• Each participant can complete the created profile with useful information and showcase needs or expectations to raise.

  A good profile will generate significantly more meeting requests.

• Participants can browse the profiles of other attendees.

• A participant can send and receive meeting requests.

• Participants have their own agenda at their disposal where they complete their schedule for the event and the list of their meetings.

Results or outcome of the event will be published on the Maritime Forum website. The event space will then be closed, and content deleted.
