The need for a change in culture (and curricula), stimulating standards adoption via engaging with best practice and exemplary use cases, spreading ocean-observing and unlocking non-public archives: the outcomes of the workshop organised by Blue-Cloud on June 3rd engaged experts across the Atlantic in a dialogue to identify needs and challenges of data sharing ‘pole to pole’ and gave some recommendations towards setting up an Atlantic Data space for the ocean.

Blue-Cloud has taken a step further towards co-designing a collective, community vision for the future evolution of a web-based cyberspace where marine researchers and innovators will come together to share data and engage in Open Science to advance knowledge and sustainability of the Ocean. Have your say in the way this ambitious initiative develops into the future, so it responds to your needs and expectations.

Since April 2020, Blue-Cloud has been cooperating with FNS-Cloud thanks to the commonalities shared by the initiatives in integrating data on the thematic European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and fostering methods to make data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).

Blue-Cloud joined a 10-project-strong group called "Nourishing Blue Economy, Sharing Ocean Knowledge" in the context of the EC-funded Horizon Results Booster, focussing on supporting excellence in marine research, policies & partnerships in Europe and beyond.

On Thursday 3 June, Blue-Cloud is co-hosting a joint workshop with the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance (AANChOR), the G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative, and the two Horizon 2020 projects iAtlantic and AtlantECO, as a side-event at the All-Atlantic 2021.

The "Plankton Genomics: Multidisciplinary data mining to assess plankton distributions" webinar took place on 23 April 2021. It welcomed more than 70 participants and gave the opportunity to learn more about the Blue-Cloud Plankton Genomics demonstrator. Read the highlights and watch the webinar recording!
