AQUARIUS Policy Brief "Vision for excellence in marine and freshwater RIs"

This document details the AQUARIUS project’s vision of excellence in marine and freshwater RIs, proposing a post-project future that will maintain AQUARIUS’ legacy and 
continue to support the Mission ‘Restore our Oceans and Waters by 2030’. Prepared at the mid-point of the AQUARIUS project, this vision will develop in the context of the evolving landscape of relevant European and international policy and initiatives. 
The AQUARIUS Vision has been developed through a collaborative process engaging all partners in the AQUARIUS project. A questionnaire was circulated to all project partners during 2025, gathering ideas and opinions on the main value of AQUARIUS and the key components that are priorities to sustain after the project ends.
