EMODnet showcased its European marine data services and best practices at the recent Ocean Best Practice Systems (OBPS) VII workshop that took place online between 5-19th October 2023. EMODnet showcased its contributions to the marine data and ocean knowledge ecosystem in several sessions and across multiple workshops, including a joint EMODnet Secretariat - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) presentation on the use of ERDAAP, where EMODnet’s Conor Delaney presented how ERDDAP is integrated across all EMODnet thematics before a second presentation on the unified EMODnet services and se of OGC standards, amongst others. EMODnet senior advisor Jan-Bart Calewaert, co-chaired a session with NOAA to “Create a digital representation of the Ocean.” EMODnet Chemistry Coordinators OGS also presented on its contribution to OBPS and on EMODnet marine data flows and guidelines for managing data on pollutants, eutrophication, acidification, and marine litter.
EMODnet, represented by Patrick Gorringe (EMODnet Physics), gave an EMODnet presentation in the opening ceremony “Towards a new Erasmus for our oceans” with a number of distinguished lineup of speakers representing prominent entities (different Directorates-General (DGs) of the European Commission, from the Committee of the Regions (CoR), and executives from the education sector). The session was followed by a panel discussion “Implementation of Erasmus Maris EU-wide” with session presenters, including EMODnet. Many exciting connections were made and EMODnet looks forward to further cooperation with Erasmus Maris.
