This research project considers a diverse range of themes that connect the Geoeconomic and Geopolitical Landscape. The project seeks to explore the intersection between maritime security, the blue economy, and sustainable development. Focus on understanding the security challenges faced by coastal and maritime regions and how they impact the development of blue economy sectors such as fisheries, aquaculture, renewable energy, and marine tourism.

The project is structured around three core themes:
a) Maritime Security and Sustainable Development
b) Climate Change, Resilience and Costal Communities
c) Maritime Cybersecurity and Digital Transformation
d) Maritime Security and Global Value Chains
e) Geoeconomics and Geopolitical Dynamics of Maritime Security and International Trade
