Plastic Pirates – Go Europe! Summit 2024 will take place on 5 – 6 November in Brussels. This event brings together youth, teachers, researchers, policymakers and environmental experts to tackle the pressing issue of plastic pollution. As one of the largest Horizon Europe citizen science initiatives, the summit will showcase the groundbreaking results of the Plastic Pirates project and explore how collective citizen action is transforming our approach to safeguarding Europe’s waters.
By actively engaging schoolchildren in this mission, the project contributes directly to the Mission Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030 and the European Research Area’s goal of bringing science closer to citizens. Participants at the Plastic Pirates Summit will have the opportunity to explore key topics related to the project’s achievements and impacts.
