In Vilnius this week, EMSA participated in the International Organisations Career Development Roundtable for 2024. We’re proud to have taken part in this edition of the #CareerDevelopmentRoundtable, entitled "Inspiring HR: Unleash your Inner Wolf" and held on 23-26 October, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania. The event brought together international organisations from across the multilateral sector, including the United Nations, European Union institutions, international financial entities, academia and the private sector. The roundtable provided a fantastic platform to exchange insights, foster collaboration and strengthen connections with professionals committed to driving positive change in human resources and talent development. On the final day, at the career fair on 26 October, we had the chance to inspire individuals starting their professional journeys to dive into the exciting opportunities within the maritime sector – especially at EMSA. #CDR2024 #MaritimeCareers #TalentDevelopment #InspiringHR

The more maritime authorities join and share information through CISE, the stronger and more effective the collective response to the evolving maritime threats can be.

EMSA’s NAVIs SONus (NAVISON) report is the first pan-European report to provide historical and future forecast underwater noise data for all European seas. Using a single methodology, NAVISON maps underwater noise levels in all European seas for the first time, providing a comprehensive, pan-European overview. The report also allows quantitative like-for-like comparisons of shipping contributions to ambient sound between regions, vessel categories, years, and forecast scenarios.

This week, experts from EU Member States and EFTA coastal states met at EMSA (and online) in the framework of the annual meetings of the Consultative Technical Group for Marine Pollution Preparedness and Response (CTG MPPR) and Pollution Response Services User Group (PRS-User Group).   The group discussed ongoing work in addressing emerging challenges in the field of marine pollution response, shared experiences and updates on EMSA’s pollution response services ‘toolbox’, and jointly reviewed the future work of the CTG MPPR on the basis of common priority actions identified.

"One of the most important characteristics of the CISE project is building trust, not only among different countries, but also between different authorities within individual countries." Our Executive Director Maja Markovčić Kostelac today addressed the opening session: “The importance of CISE in maritime security and surveillance" at the CISE high level event in Brussels. Today's event focuses on the operational use of CISE in tackling a wide range of maritime threats in the maritime domain.   Also for discussion today: the future development of CISE, including the CISE CLASSIFIED network facilitating cooperation between military, law enforcement and civilian authorities in the EU.
