EMODnet For Ports, Marinas and Boating Online Workshop

On 22 October 2024, more than 70 experts gathered for an EMODnet online workshop titled “EMODnet Marine Data for Ports, Marinas, and Boating.” The event was co-designed with key stakeholder networks from these Blue Economy sectors, including the European Boating Industry, TransEurope Marinas and the European Sea Port Organisation, in collaboration with the EC DG MARE and CINEA. DG MARE and the European Blue Economy Observatory provided opening remarks.

Workshop on microplastics confirms the cooperation of EMODnet Chemistry with Japan’s Ministry of the Environment

At the international workshop titled AOMI Database: Enhancing Ocean Microplastics Monitoring, EMODnet Chemistry showcased how marine litter data are managed within the project. Held on October 8 and led by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment, the workshop provided a practical demonstration of the Atlas of Ocean Microplastics (AOMI).

Marine litter on the seafloor: EMODnet Chemistry at the workshop in Shanghai

Discussing the scientific and technical basis for coordinating, standardising and harmonising the monitoring of seafloor litter and the management of associated data at a global level was the aim of the recent international workshop in China. EMODnet Chemistry was one of the speakers at this invitation-only event, representing the European Marine Observation and Data Network.

Open source software: key applications in EMODnet Chemistry and beyond

The recent General Assembly of the EMODnet Chemistry was a good opportunity to present relevant ways in which the project pursues the principles of Open Science (OS). The University of Liège (ULiege) showed how the project implements open science thanks to open source software. Charles Troupin from ULiege referred in particular to EMODnet Chemistry's use of the netCDF format and the NCDatasets.jl package, which is described in a recent EMODnet news article.

EMODnet Biology workshop for EU funded projects

Due to the increasing requirement for EU funded projects to ensure their data and products are available on EMODnet, EMODnet Biology will be offering a workshop where, among other aspects, we will provide relevant information on biodiversity data standards, biodiversity product creation and how these two outputs could flow into the thematic lot. 

Ten (10) projects will also be able to present a 2-minute pitch on their work. The choice will be made on a first come, first served basis, so be quick to register!
