The Atlantic Institute of Marine Economy (AIME) cordially invites researchers, academics, policymakers, industry experts, development practitioners, postgraduate students, professionals, and emerging scholars from across Africa and the global maritime community to submit original papers for consideration in AIME's growing body of research on the Marine and Blue Economy.

As Africa positions itself to harness the immense opportunities within the global blue economy, there is an urgent need for practical, evidence-based research capable of informing policy, strengthening institutions, developing human capital, promoting innovation, and attracting sustainable investment.

Submitted papers will contribute to AIME's knowledge repository and may be considered for publication, policy briefs, technical reports, conference presentations, executive roundtables, and future editions of the Africa's Blue Harvest Program (ABHP) and the Blue Edge: Youth Maritime BootCamp.
