Ocean Sciences Meeting

The Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) is a unique gathering designed to foster connection and collaboration among researchers and solution scientists in the greater ocean-connected community. Every two years, scientists from across the globe gather together to share the latest research findings, collaborate on solutions, and make lasting partnerships with the goal of advancing scientific knowledge and impacts.

The Ocean Sciences Meeting is an Endorsed Decade Action program with the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Co-sponsored by the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), and The Oceanography Society (TOS), we welcome a diverse community of scientists, students, journalists, policymakers, educators and organizations who are working toward a world where scientific discovery leads to scientific solutions, and where our global collaborations and partnerships can carry us into a sustainable future.

Currents take shape. They flow, build, and gain strength — much like the work of the global scientific community. Reflecting this idea, the theme of the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026 (OSM26) in Glasgow is Creating a Current of Community. This concept symbolises the continuous momentum and collective progress of the ocean sciences field as it advances in addressing global challenges and delivering impactful research.

The meeting provides a dynamic and inclusive environment for all members of the ocean sciences community. It offers a space not only to share scientific insights, but also to foster meaningful connections, mutual support, and a sense of lasting community that extends well beyond OSM26.
