European Ocean Days

The European Ocean Days is a week-long event with a series of dynamic and interconnected sessions relevant to maritime topics. Each day features distinct sessions focused on various key ocean-related themes, allowing participants to engage deeply with sustainable blue economy, considering fisheries science outcomes, showcasing Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters actions, blue investments, and dialogues with key stakeholders, including youth. 

The European Ocean Days provides a unique platform to exchange of ideas across diverse blue communities, discuss about the challenges ahead, explore innovative solutions, and pave the way for concrete actions that address the interconnected ocean issues. This year, the Ocean Days are a key component of the preparation of the Ocean Pact, a reference framework for all EU ocean-related policies.

Blue-Cloud at the Event

During the European Ocean Days 2025, the Blue-Cloud 2026 project was showcased through multiple contributions across the programme. A digital poster highlighted the project’s progress, while Blue-Cloud was also represented at the EDITO mini stand, with Cyrielle Delvenne (VLab leader) delivering a dedicated speech. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Dick Schaap (MARIS) and Alessandra Giorgetti (OGS) contributed to the Marine Knowledge for the Ocean Pact session, with Giorgetti presenting insights from EMODnet Chemistry. Additionally, Blue-Cloud was cited by SINTEF Ocean in a presentation on Digital Twin of the Ocean applications, specifically acknowledging the support the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is providing to projects such as CLIMAREST.
