The eMSP NBSR project (www.eMSPproject.eu), implemented from mid-2021 to mid-2024, provided a platform for marine spatial planners and other experts to collaboratively advance Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) practice. It addressed five urgent emerging MSP topics through a community of practice-based approach that enabled joint learning across professions and across the North Sea and Baltic Sea areas. Five thematic strands of the project include Ocean governance; Sustainable blue economy; Ecosystem-based approach; Monitoring and evaluation; Data sharing, Information and Communication Technologies. Project work took into account the European Green Deal, climate change and how climate-neutrality targets can be addressed in MSP. The planners and experts were supported by a method mentoring team and a scientific advisory board.

Stand will be also used to illustrate topicalities of Maritime Spatial Planning in Baltic Sea and North Sea regions, for example, coordination of the Policy Area “Spatial Planning” of the EUSBSR and the VASAB Vision 2040 for the Baltic Sea Region.
