Halfway through the project, on 14 May 2025 in Zandvoort (NL), we will organise an event to share the research results up to that point, and to gather input from other North Sea countries. We invite speakers from around the North Sea to hear how sand extraction is handled there, and what research is being done. You can sign up for the event soon.
