A serious amount of “rallying together”, both economically and politically, is needed to encourage the various decision makers to take action about the key questions linked to the efficient management and use of water. The intercultural exchange actions insure innovative and cross-disciplinary processes. That’s why the Foundation is organising events on local and international level, where scientists and academics can share their knowledge with the professionals and the general public.

Forum: Ocean Racing, a platform for sustainability?

To launch its programme to share and promote knowledge, innovation and best-practice initiatives around Ocean Racing and Sustainability, the Multi One Attitude Foundation has organized its first forum on Friday 25 March 2011 at La Cité de la Voile Eric Tabarly, in Lorient – France, the same day as the launch of its ambassador boat the MOD70 Race for Water.

Hosted in an environmentally responsible event space at one of Europe’s leading nautical venues, the forum has examined how Ocean Racing can contribute to a more sustainable future. Topics for discussion and debate included: the development of biomaterials, ocean racing green initiatives, MOD70 life cycle assessment, water footprinting and ocean preservation.
