What do the Ocean and hackers have in common? From the 4 -6 September, in the stimulating Zebrastraat venue in Ghent, STEM takes centre stage as international teams of scientists, programmers and communicators compete to create new ideas for goods and services built on Ocean data. Over 100 competitors from 18 countries registered to compete in the Open Sea Lab hackathon, but this is no ordinary hackathon!

The EMODnet Seabed Habitats Portal is working to improve the security of the EMODnet Seabed Habitats website.
Users won't be able to access the portal on 18th September between 11-13am (CET).
The EMODnet team appreciates your understanding and thanks you for your patience.
We are looking for targeted feedback!
Do you feel the desire to help EMODnet improving? Be very welcome to take part in one of our in-depth surveys on the EMODnet portals.
One of the unique features of EMODnet globally is the multidisciplinary nature of the data that it aggregates and makes available. The EMODnet thematic sub-portals create data layers and products ranging from information on physical oceanography to seabed habitats to human activities. However, users increasingly want to work across disciplines and visualise or combine these multi-thematic data layers.
Information on seabed habitats is essential both for the development of new economic activities and for assessing the impact of these activities on the marine environment.
