The pan-Mediterranean digital campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UNEP/MAP follows its route also in 2026 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Barcelona Convention through a more and more rich constellation of events around the Mediterranean Sea

The ISPRA Major Oceanographic Vessel will be presented at the Chamber of Deputies in Rome. The Vessel is not just a new research infrastructure, but the concrete symbol of a collective commitment to the sea, to science, to future generations.
The vessel represents one of the key interventions of the Marine Ecosystem Restoration Project (MER), the largest investment envisaged by the PNRR for the protection of the marine environment: 400 million euros intended to protect and restore fragile ecosystems, starting with those that are submerged, invisible and mostly unknown. A project of great national scope, with ISPRA as the implementing body and the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security as the titular administration.

Date: 15 July 2025
Location: Chamber of Deputies in Rome.
