The European Marine Board (EMB) Its mission is to develop common positions among European organizations that carry out and fund marine science research on scientific strategies and priorities for this area, thereby facilitating and promoting collaboration between the marine science sector and other socioeconomic actors. The European organization's lines of action are based on four pillars: Forum, Synergies, Strategy, and Voice.
EMB publications are developed for a non-technical target audience, providing recommendations for future research and capacity building in the field of marine science and technology that can be addressed by European and national funding mechanisms.
