How can the Mediterranean accelerate the transition towards climate neutrality and resilience?
Circle the Med Forum returns to Athens on 19–21 May 2026, bringing together policymakers, innovators, business leaders, researchers and civil society from across the Mediterranean and South-East Europe, hosted by Dynamic Vision PC. and MIO-ECSDE.
Under the theme “A New Pact for a Sustainable Mediterranean Future”, the Forum promotes high-level dialogue on advancing the European Green Deal, strengthening cooperation and developing innovative governance models for a circular and inclusive economy.
Within this framework, the ISE Mission community will host two of its main annual gatherings at Circle the Med: the MED Innovation Summit and the ISE Community of Practice (CoP).
Days 2 and 3 of the forum will highlight the work of the ISE Mission, exploring how innovation can move beyond pilot actions and examining how solutions in marine resources, agri-food systems, industrial transition and resource valorisation can be transferred, adapted and scaled across diverse Mediterranean territories.
Location: Athens, Greece – Circle the MED Forum
Date: 19–21 May 2026
