In June, the European Commission published the EU Blue Economy Report 2020, an overview of all economic sectors related to oceans and the coastal environment across the EU. What is its relevance to Blue-Cloud?
The European Commission is launching a Green Deal call for research proposals in September, and one of the proposed topics is a digital ocean. Stakeholders and the public are invited to help shape the call through an online survey.
Let's discover the "Marine Environmental Indicators" Blue-Cloud demonstrator, which will develop an online service with an associated cloud-based analytical computing framework, and a dedicated web interface to provide and display indicators and information on the environmental quality of the ocean.
Blue-Cloud was featured in the May-June 2020 issue of ECO Magazine, a marine science publication focusing on the latest ground-breaking research and industry news.
Blue-Cloud was presented on the 24th of April during the online webinar launched by the International Ocean Governance Forum: an important discussion on how to strengthen the ocean knowledge system.
The Wildlife Tracker for Oceans has developed a marine conservation application exploiting data from the Blue-Cloud VLab Zoo & Phytoplankton EOV products. On 26 July the team held a webinar to show how this app was successfully implemented for the Galapagos Whale Shark Project.
Blue-Cloud was mentioned in the list of repositories for ocean microbiome datasets in a recent article published on Nature Microbiology, produced by experts from Tara Ocean Foundation, Tara Oceans, EMBL and EMBRC-ERIC.
The Blue-Cloud Data Discovery & Access Service was featured in the EMODnet Annual Report 2021 as one of the most relevant EU infrastructures for Open Science. Try it out now!
A joint hybrid workshop at EMD 2022 organised by the H2020 projects EuroSea and Blue-Cloud and the EC marine data service EMODnet showcased success stories and use cases from the European (and Atlantic) marine data landscape, and charted the way forward for closer collaboration on ocean observation and marine data in the context of the EU Green Deal.
The public consultation towards the Blue-Cloud Strategic Roadmap to 2030 has reached an important milestone: contributions have been gathered from nearly 100 stakeholders to shape policy recommendations for evolving Blue-Cloud as a thematic, cloud-based Open Science ecosystem for marine research into the future.
The EU-funded H2020 project Blue-Cloud contributed to advancing the interoperability of fisheries data. The FAO FIRMS Global Tuna Atlas will support and improve fisheries management across the globe.
