Digital Ocean Forum 2024

This high-level event, taking place under the auspice of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU, on 13 June 2024 (10:00-16:30) at the Palace of the Academies, Brussels, will be hybrid and open to the public. 

To join this hybrid event and participate: 

The European Digital Twin of the Ocean will unlock the door to knowledge and its translation into actions: it is a digital co-creation place at the crossroad of different disciplines. Its purpose is to provide Ocean communities, citizens, coastal actors, scientists, and policymakers worldwide, with actionable knowledge and to support them in their daily decisions and planning, to ensure a healthy and sustainable Ocean. 

The Digital Ocean Forum 2024 will be the occasion to unveil the prototype of the EU DTO and to showcase what the EU DTO, as a Commission public service, can do for the sustainable development of our blue economies and the management of our ocean resources, as well as how it contributes to the implementation of the Green Deal and the UN Decade of Science for Sustainable Development. 

It will bring together experts, stakeholders, policymakers and interested citizens in the co-design and co-creation of the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. 

The high-level public event will be preceded by a scientific workshop, to gather further feedback and requirements from key EU and national research projects and initiatives and establish priorities for future developments with a strong user-centric approach. The scientific workshop is by invitation only. If you wish to participate, please contact EU-MISSION-OCEAN-AND-WATERS@ec.europa.eu.   

This event is co-organised with Mercator Ocean International and the Flanders Marine Institute.

Dates: 13 June 2024.
Location: Palace of the Academies, Brussels,
