Students of the master's degree in Marine Sciences, EMAH course at ULCO, within a group of eight students from four IFSEA master's degrees (EMAH, PAUL, ICL and ITM, from the Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale and the University of Artois) accompanied by Frida Lasram, the director of EUR, had the opportunity to attend the Conference on the Economy of the Sea which was held on November 28 and 29, 2023 in Nantes.This major meeting of the French maritime community, which this year focused on sovereignty, was an opportunity for students to meet with political, economic and military decision-makers from the maritime world.
Round tables and speeches focused on energy, food and logistics sovereignty, as well as military, economic and cyber sovereignty, giving students a resolutely trans-disciplinary vision of the major issues at stake.
An exchange (and a photo!) with French President Emmanuel Macron, a discussion with Ms. Annick Girardin, Minister for the Sea from 2020 to 2022, and an internship offer for a PAUL Master’s student were the highlights for IFSEA students.
