The BCTHubs Project, a component of the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Program, aims to boost research and innovation capacities in the Blue Economy sector. Its primary emphasis lies in BCT (Blue Culture Technology), underwater cultural heritage, scientific research, and tourism development in Bulgaria, Greece, Malta, and Italy.

The goal of BCTHubs is to create BCT excellence hubs, offering innovative solutions and products for the sustainable protection, restoration, valorization, management, accessibility, and promotion of underwater cultural heritage.

Every BCTHub unites key players from the domains of Blue Culture and underwater cultural heritage, encompassing research, enterprises, the public sector, and societal participants.

The collective endeavor strives to strengthen their capacities and efficiency, ultimately raising the standard of innovative excellence in the sustainable Blue Economy/Culture within their specific regions.
