The need for best practices is fundamental to enhance interoperability and reliability in the use of ocean data, to ensure the good evolution of the global observing network from the deep ocean to the coast, and to handle complex forecasting systems.
Whether you are an experienced user, or new to the Ocean Best Practices System, the OBPS team is very pleased to invite you to register for this year’s free online OBPS Workshop VIII.
The objective of the eighth Ocean Best Practices System Workshop (OBPS WSVIII) is to facilitate the cross-cutting primary role of best practices in operational oceanography by promoting dialogues across science and technology. In the era of Digital Twins for the Ocean, the need of best practices is fundamental for a more interoperable and reliable use of ocean data, for the evolution of the worldwide observing network from the deep ocean to the coast and for dealing with complex forecasting systems. The ultimate goal for satisfying this need is to provide standards and tools for developing new solutions for marine conservation, for predictions and monitoring, for a sustainable ocean environment, and a sustainable Blue Economy.
The Agenda framework has Plenaries, scheduled on 14th and 18th October, and Workshop Sessions from 15 to 17 October. The first Workshop Plenary is devoted to the evolution of Ocean knowledge and policy, and the second one addresses workshop recommendations and future perspectives. The workshop will be held online, including parallel sessions, keynotes and presentations, organised in two time zones.
