How can conference insights become concrete action?
In this blog post, Senka Šekularac-Ivošević reflects on the 2025 WMU gender equality conference, where discussions highlighted that progress remains too slow, maritime education must become more inclusive, and investment in people is essential for sustainable change. Supported by BlueRights, she connects these findings to practical steps, from exploring future COST activities in Montenegro to strengthening the visibility of women in maritime professions through initiatives such as WISTA and the Maritime Speakers programme. The post shows how international exchange can inspire action beyond the conference room.
