10th EuroGOOS International Conference

This year marks an anniversary edition of the EuroGOOS Conference, which has provided a focal point for European operational oceanography for nearly 30 years. This event is co-organized by the EuroGOOS Office and the Marine Institute, Ireland. This is an event of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030

The Conference will offer an opportunity to discuss how well our ocean monitoring and forecasting are supporting societal and policy needs. The event will facilitate dialogue among a broad range of ocean observing and forecasting stakeholders, towards a fit-for-purpose ocean information delivery.

The key priorities of the 10th EuroGOOS International Conference are:

• Analyse the state of the art and defining emerging priorities in operational oceanography;
• Advance the European Ocean Observing System (EOOS) framework towards the sustainability and integration of in situ observations;
• Develop a seamless forecasting system of the European seas and global ocean;
• Strengthen the responsiveness of European operational oceanography to policy and governance needs;
• Foster engagement of all stakeholders to co-design the European operational oceanography;
• Promote diversity, equity and inclusivity in oceanography and ocean science;
• Integrate European operational oceanography into the global context.
