• Identify key stakeholders to be sensitised and engaged in reaching a shared understanding of each other's concerns and requirements, and create conditions for co-existence in the Black Sea;
• Exchange views concerning the suitability of the Black Sea for the deployment of offshore renewable energy projects and identify barriers, hurdles, and risks constraining their development and exploitation;
