Twinning to enable Baltic Sea maritime transport
meet Fit–for–55 regulations in decarbonization
The BALTIC-FIT is a project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Programme under the Widening “Twinning” instrument. The project will build a network of excellence between organizations from Baltic Sea Region (Estonia as a Widening country, Finland and Sweden) to enable Baltic Sea maritime transport meet ‘Fit for 55’ regulations in decarbonisation. The BALTIC-FIT will achieve this goal by implementing a three-year Innovation strategy, that includes joint innovation project, innovation workshops for industrial and maritime stakeholders, staff exchanges, and summer schools for the early-stage researchers.
