Particularly\, this 10th conference will discuss ‘Ocean Digital’ as a special agenda\, focusing on means to drive ‘action’. Ocean Digital is a concept that combines the ocean industry and digital technology\, serving as an implementation tool to achieve a sustainable ocean swiftly and systematically. The Our Ocean Conference gathers approximately 1\,000 global leaders from various sectors\, including heads of state and high-level government officials from over 100 countries\, as well as representatives from more than 400 international and non-profit organizations. Together\, they discuss diverse and concrete actions for a sustainable ocean.\nMore info: https://ourocean2025.kr/ URL:https://www.eu4oceanobs.eu/event/our-ocean-2025/ LOCATION:Busan\, Korea CATEGORIES:All events,Our events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.eu4oceanobs.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/our-ocean.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250505 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250510 DTSTAMP:20250328T051742 CREATED:20241219T091039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241219T091039Z UID:6466-1746403200-1746835199@www.eu4oceanobs.eu SUMMARY:GEO Global Forum 2025 DESCRIPTION:We are excited to share important details about the GEO Global Forum 2025\, taking place in Rome\, Italy\, from 5–9 May 2025.

These booths often feature interactive displays demonstrating the use of Earth observation data and Earth intelligence solutions in addressing global challenges such as climate change\, biodiversity loss\, and disaster management. Exhibits are generally hosted by governments\, research institutions and industry partners\,\nand run throughout the week. \nFor further information on the available packages and pricing\, please contact Ms Elisa Cannistraci – progettazione@arco-studio.net. Additional details will be included on the website in the new year. \nRequest for financial support to attend the GEO Global Forum 2025\nYou can request invitational travel support to attend the GEO Global Forum 2025 during the\nregistration process. The GEO Secretariat will prioritise financial support for individuals from lower-income countries from official delegations\, including Principals\, Alternates\, and representatives of the Principals. This prioritisation will also take into account equity\, diversity\, and inclusion to ensure broad and balanced representation. \nApplications for invitational travel support will be accepted until 15 February 2025. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to Rome for the GEO Global Forum 2025\, as we celebrate 20 years of GEO and shape the future of Earth Intelligence together. \nIf you have any questions regarding registration or need assistance\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the GEO Secretariat at secretariat@geosec.org. \nWe are counting on you to make this milestone event a success. See you in Rome!

A case study will illustrate how DTOs can enhance decision-making by providing visual but science-based\, what-if scenarios\, enabling stakeholders to better manage fisheries\, prevent pollution\, or address climate impacts.\nObservations\, Data Ecosystems and Interoperability: Effective DTOs rely on adequate ocean observations and robust\, interconnected data ecosystems. The townhall will discuss the importance of integrating diverse data sources\, from satellite observations to citizen science. Addressing the challenge of data interoperability\, participants will explore ways to ensure that data from different sources can be harmonized and used across platforms\, enabling seamless collaboration between ocean researchers\, policymakers\, and industries.\nDTO Architecture: Technical discussions will cover the core architecture of DTOs\, including the development of scalable\, modular frameworks that can be adapted to various regions and environmental conditions. Experts will delve into the computational requirements\, highlighting innovations in cloud computing and AI that support the development of realistic and accurate DTOs.\nGovernance\, Equity\, and Capacity Building: The success of DTOs hinges on effective governance and equitable access to resources. The townhall will examine the frameworks needed to ensure transparent\, inclusive governance of ocean data and models. Special attention will be given to equity in the distribution of DTO benefits\, emphasizing capacity-building initiatives for developing countries and marginalized communities. Ensuring that all stakeholders—especially those most affected by ocean changes—can access and contribute to DTOs will be critical in promoting global ocean sustainability.\n\nThrough this townhall\, participants will collaborate on strategies to harness the power of digital twin technology\, advancing collective efforts toward healthier\, more resilient oceans for future generations. \nThe townhall is proposed jointly by the European Commission\, the DITTO Decade programme and the G7 Future of the Seas and Ocean working group URL:https://www.eu4oceanobs.eu/event/marine-knowledge-at-the-fingertips-of-our-communities-designing-digital-twins-of-the-ocean-townhall-at-the-one-ocean-science-congress/ LOCATION:Nice\, France ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.eu4oceanobs.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/oos2025_Logo.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250604 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250607 DTSTAMP:20250328T051742 CREATED:20241121T082828Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250212T153029Z UID:6396-1748995200-1749254399@www.eu4oceanobs.eu SUMMARY:One Ocean Science Congress DESCRIPTION:A UNOC3 Special Event dedicated to Science\nCNRS and IFREMER have been tasked with organizing the One Ocean Science Congress (OOSC)\, a UNOC3 Special Event dedicated to Science\, and to provide Heads of State\, Government\, and the broader society\, with comprehensive scientific insights on the Ocean’s health and future trajectory.
