Big Data in Marine Science webinar

While the 7th EMB Forum on Big Data in Marine Science was postponed to 23 October 2020 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, the European Marine Board decided to hold an online session on the 29th of April, as originally scheduled.

The webinar took place from 13:00 to 15:00 CEST, and focused on the launch of the EMB Future Science Brief ‘Big Data in Marine Science’.
