This transition is particularly relevant in the context of the blue economy, where the vast majority of sectors depend on bio-resources and the proper functioning of marine ecosystems that sustain services that are central to the survival of humanity.<br>This masters&#8217; program will address these issues, as well as the existing and innovative solutions, examples of interactions between academia, industry, and public authorities to promote the blue economic and social development of coastal communities. In addition, bioproducts and biomaterials that create systems that tend to be waste-free will also be addressed.<br>Business models based on the circular economy will be developed, fostering innovative solutions for the blue economy that can contribute to the socio-economic development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-field clearfix\">\n<h2

socio-economic development processes. This transition is particularly relevant in the context of the blue economy, where the vast majority of sectors depend on bio-resources and the proper functioning of marine ecosystems that sustain services that are central to the survival of humanity.<br>This masters' program will address these issues, as well as the existing and innovative solutions, examples of interactions between academia, industry, and public authorities to promote the blue economic and social development of coastal communities. In addition, bioproducts and biomaterials that create systems that tend to be waste-free will also be addressed.<br>Business models based on the circular economy will be developed, fostering
