Launch of EMODnet Vision 2035 Public Consultation

News article |

The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is pleased to announce the launch of the EMODnet Vision 2035 public consultation!

The public consultation is open to all EMODnet stakeholders and the wider community in Europe and worldwide. You can reply as an individual, organization, network, project or initiative. This survey remains open until 11 September Midnight CEST.

The EMODnet Vision 2035 is a community output, focusing on service evolution. This builds on a EMODnet Call to Action (launched on 30 November 2023) and on EMODnet’s achievements to-date including the unification of EMODnet services in January 2023, and EMODnet’s ongoing partnership with Copernicus Marine Service to deliver the data infrastructure for the prototype European Digital Twin Ocean, launched in June 2024. The EMODnet Vision 2035 will deliver concrete and realistic goals for EMODnet’s digital services and service offer, to increasingly serve user needs, including directly supporting EU policy, the Blue Economy, Research and Innovation and wider stakeholders, and providing added value for the EU economic agenda and competitiveness, set in the global context. 

Results from the survey will be summarized and considered by the EMODnet Vision 2035 Drafting Group of experts that was set up in Spring 2024 to jointly deliver the EMODnet 2035 Vision, with members representing the EMOD-network (partners, associated partners, sea-basin checkpoints) and wider stakeholders. 

Thank you in advance for your feedback on how EMODnet could/should evolve its services over the next decade to 2035. 

Please distribute this widely to your professional networks.
