Posts & News 12 July 2022

Our EcoPodcasts project partner University of Salento recently joined the Beyond Plastic Med (BeMed) Association (https://www.beyondplasticmed.org/en/). It herewith joins a network that extends to 15 countries and 82 projects dedicated to reducing plastic pollution all around the Mediterranean basin (see map; yellow dots: existing members, blue dots: new members in 2022). In an annual call for micro-initiatives, BeMed encourages the sharing of knowledge and strives to facilitate dialogue and create momentum within the network.

The task of the team from the University of Salento will be to popularize existing scientific data and information on plastic pollution in order to make it accessible and understandable throughout the network.

Through this valuable connection, the EcoPodcasts project will always be up-to-date regarding ongoing initiatives and can profit from the knowledge gained by the association, herewith contributing to efficient and effective protection of the Mediterranean Sea.
