The European Commission has opened a new Stakeholder Consultation called “A climate neutral, sustainable and productive Blue Economy”. The call aims at creating a strong partnership among the main European stakeholders involved in the Blue Economy sector.

In 2020, the Sea Tech Week was organised in virtual mode in order to continue to be a pivotal cross-disciplinary platform. In the scope of “the future of observations from seabed to space” several sessions were dedicated to marine data management, data processing and data sciences.

Ocean observation is essential for the knowledge base of the EU Green Deal, but as we know data are often collected by different authorities for different purposes.

The Blue Economy (BE) is associated to all the economic activities linked to the marine environment.

The European Marine Board Biennial Open Forum acts as a platform to bring together a wide range of marine science stakeholders to discuss and share knowledge, identify common priorities, develop common positions and collaborate.

Announced in 2020 by the European Commission, the Digital Twin of the Ocean is part of the Destination Earth initiative, representing another step forward towards the integration of all European assets related to seas and oceans. How is it related to Blue-Cloud?

The complexity of the current context of biodiversity conservation requires new and improved scientific support to all policymakers. This is why there is a need for pivotal research initiatives such as the Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity and Blue-Cloud.

The European Commission's Mission Starfish 2030 and the Blue-Cloud project set important strategies and goals to restore our oceans and create a more sustainable ecosystem by 2030.

We are launching an online consultation on the Blue-Cloud Roadmap to 2030! Join us in shaping the future of the Blue-Cloud, an open, web-based cyberspace where marine researchers and innovators will come together to share data and advance Ocean knowledge through collective intelligence.

The Blue-Cloud consortium is thrilled to announce that two of our articles were published in the latest issue of ERCIM News, with a special focus on Blue Growth. An overview of the Blue-Cloud project and an article on the Fisheries demonstrator "Fish, a matter of scales".

Get to know the Blue-Cloud demonstrator “Plankton Genomics” led by EMBL-EBI, in collaboration with VLIZ and the Faculty of Sciences at Sorbonne University. How will it change the landscape for this area of marine research?

The Horizon 2020 project Blue-Cloud has a strategic role in the EU Green Deal context as it provides innovative services for Marine Research towards building a resilient and efficient Blue Economy. Its importance has also been recognised also at the Research & Innovation Days.
