Virtual Exhibition

As part of the second EMODnet Open Conference which took place on 14-16 June 2021, an online platform with a virtual exhibition showcases the diverse activities of EMODnet, resources and services, as well as those from related initiatives, including 55 community posters.

 

 

Community Posters


 

EMODnet welcomed the EMOD-network and wider community to submit abstracts for posters relating directly to EMODnet open access data, data products, applications and interoperability across data services, across the following themes:

  • EMODnet contributors (data collection and ocean observation, data providers, data management initiatives and infrastructures, etc.);
  • EMODnet for users (use cases of EMODnet data and data products by policy, research, industry, civil society, other);
  • EMODnet for innovation (development of added value products and applications using EMODnet data and data products);
  • EMODnet partnerships (collaboration with other services and stakeholders, and contribution to EU and global initiatives).

All posters directly referenced, and had a tangible link, with EMODnet e.g. as a data contributor, service provider, user, application, and/or partnership. 

Once received, all abstracts were reviewed and validated by the co-organisers. All approved abstracts needed to produce an electronic poster which was made available fully online for participants. In addition, each poster submitted a 1-minute pitch presentation, screened during plenary sessions.
