Formação para a Empregabilidade e Tecnologia no Atlântico

The tecAtlantic project includes vocational training for young people, employability training in key areas for the development of the blue economy, and entrepreneurship training in the blue sector. It is funded by the Blue Growth Program of the EEA Grants and promoted by the Fórum Oceano in partnership with the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, through the Centro Mare and Mare Startup, along with the Instituto de Estudos Políticos da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, and Colégio Valsassina, all from Portugal, as well as GCE Ocean Technology from Norway. The project has also the institutional support of the Lisbon City Council and the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research from Germany.
With the support of the EEA Grants, a multiannual financial mechanism through which Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway provide financial support to the Member States of the European Union, tecAtlantic is seen as a project that focuses on training for the blue economy in an innovative way, with different target audiences, from secondary school students to working professionals or those looking for retraining.
