ICES Annual Science Conference 2025

For and from the Baltic: Navigating the Future of Fisheries with Ecosystem-Based Management

Thursday, 18 September 2025, 14:15–17:30
Aula Magna KA 1
Remote participation available

Join us for an extraordinary event that promises to be both informative and inspiring. This special occasion, hosted by ICES and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE), will bring together the brightest minds in marine science, resource management, and policymaking to explore the future of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) in the Baltic Sea. ​​​

Highlights of this side event include: 

  • Keynote & High-Level Roundtable: Hear from leaders at ICES, DG MARE, and other prominent organizations as they share their insights on the latest advancements and future directions in marine science and management. 

  • Panel Discussions & Interactive Sessions: Engage with experts as they address regional challenges, opportunities, and the pivotal role EBFM can play in the sustainable recovery of the Baltic. 

  • Short Presentations by Leaders and Scientists: Gain a balanced view of the current state of the Baltic, including key findings from the ICES Annual Science Conference. 

  • The Statement on Baltic Science: Be part of a powerful message to national leaders, highlighting the urgent scientific needs and priorities for the region. 


The Baltic Sea is a shared resource vital to regional culture and economies, yet it faces mounting pressures—from climate change and eutrophication to struggling fish stocks. A cooperative, ecosystem-based approach is essential for ensuring its sustainable future. 

 

Following the side event and the ASC closing ceremony, an informal reception will be held in Vaitekunas Hall to continue discussions and celebrate shared progress. 

Please register to confirm your participation. A high turnout is expected.
