We are pleased to announce a call for abstracts for a joint publication in the form of an open-access edited book. The aim of this joint publication project is twofold: first, to support young and early career researchers in the publication of a high-quality book chapter; and second, to allow young researchers to gain hands-on experience of the publishing process, from writing the paper, going through the review process, and publication. In addition, the mutual engagement with each other’s contributions will allow contributors to gain a broader and deeper understanding of the research currently being carried out on different aspects of the Blue Economy, and together to rethink and develop a future research agenda.
