By steingod |

Through the Polar Data mailing list we have received information on an upcoming conference that may be of interest to the Norwegian community:

Dear Polar Data Colleagues

We are pleased to announce the “International Ocean Data Conference 2022- The Data We Need for the Ocean We Want”, to be held in Sopot, Poland between 14-16 February 2022 as a hybrid event.  https://www.iode.org/conf2022

The main objectives of the Conference will be (i) to consider regional and global strategies and policy needed to achieve the digital ecosystem; (ii) to discuss existing and required technological developments and their implementation; and (iii) to identify future directions in ocean data and information management.  The mentioned objectives will furthermore be considered within the multi-sectoral vision of the Ocean Decade.

The expected outcome will be a Conference Declaration that will provide a number of actionable recommendations to the global ocean data and information, observational and management community aimed at realizing the implementation of the ocean data and information “global commons”by 20XX.

As a member of the IODE community we would now like to invite you to paricipate in the Conference, either by presenting a paper or a poster.
