Panel on EMODnet service evolution for the European Ocean Pact
This Panel brings together representatives of EMODnet’s diverse stakeholder community to share their perspectives on how EMODnet should evolve as an essential marine data service for the European Ocean Pact, including strengthening the service offer across the coastal, deep-sea and polar domains, identifying complimentarity with other EU data services and key partnerships e.g, for the European Digital Twin Ocean, and how EMODnet can further strengthen its cooperation with other regions worldwide and with global ocean data sharing and interoperability activities for the global ocean data ecosystem.
