Blue-Cloud partners and collaborators gathered in Brussels from 5 to 7 November 2025 for a three-day series of strategic and technical sessions, anchored by the Third Federation Workshop. The event took place just after the EOSC Symposium, as Blue-Cloud is supporting the creation of a Thematic Node within the EOSC Federation under the name "EOSC Node Digital Twin of the Ocean".
The FAIR-EASE and Blue-Cloud 2026 projects joined forces for a training webinar exploring cutting-edge solutions in data discovery, access, and usability.
The Blue-Cloud 2026 Second Federation Workshopwas organised in conjuction with the Digital Twins of the Ocean Interoperability Workshop (from ILIAD project).
The workshop took place on 16th June 2025, as a co-located event of OCEANS 2025 Brest, France (https://brest25.oceansconference.org/)
Blue-Cloud 2026 presented a workshop session on the 17th of October on "Blue-Cloud Data-intensive Workbenches for selected Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs)."
This presentation was given by Dick Schaap on 30 June 2023 as part of the Grand Finale of the Ocean Race in Genova, Italy, during the session "Low cost / cost effective technologies for ocean data monitoring and participatory actions"
Moderators: P. Gorringe, L. Cocquempot, A. Novellino, Friday, 30 June 2023 - Genova
Blue-Cloud 2026 builds upon the pilot Blue-Cloud project which established a cyber platform, providing researchers: access to multi-disciplinary datasets from observations, analytical services, and computing facilities.
Blue-Cloud 2026 aims at a further evolution into a Federated EU Ecosystem to deliver FAIR & Open data, analytical services, instrumental for deepening research of oceans, EU seas, coastal & inland waters.
Slides presented by Kevin Balem, LOPS/IFREMER, at the Blue-Cloud webinar "Test the Virtual Labs - Marine Environmental Indicators" on 25 May 2022.
Slides presented by Massimiliano Drudi, CMCC Foundation, at the Blue-Cloud webinar "Test the Virtual Labs - Marine Environmental Indicators" on 25 May 2022.
The objectives of this demonstrator are to:
The Blue-Cloud project makes substantial progress providing a collaborative cyber platform with smart federation of an unprecedented wealth of multidisciplinary data, analytical tools, and computing facilities to explore and demonstrate the potential of cloud-based Open Science and address ocean sustainability. Blue-Cloud is undertaken within the "Future of Seas and Oceans Flagship Initiative" of EU HORIZON 2020 programme and is deploying the thematic EOSC for the marine domain.
