EuroGOOS, the European component of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), was established in 1994. GOOS provides a framework for worldwide ocean observation - continuous real or near real-time data on the present state of the ocean, forecasts, and long-term historical series. GOOS and EuroGOOS serve a wide and varied user base across public bodies, research institutions, and industry. Discover the history of EuroGOOS in this brochure launched for the occasion of the 10th EuroGOOS International Conference (October 2023).

This EuroGOOS poster presented at the OceanObs'19 Conference explains why ocean observing and ocean literacy are a win-win deal and what EuroGOOS is working on in this respect

What most people know about the ocean’s ecosystem and economic services, and the importance of ocean data and information to maintain and advance those services, varies greatly. This book is written for children and their parents as a basis for dialogue between them, ultimately for better decisions related to ocean health and sustainability.

What, Why and How of EuroGOOS are presented in brief descriptions and infographics. Discover why EuroGOOS is a unique forum for operational oceanography and how we work and partner within Europe and the world.

European in situ ocean observing as feeding the European ocean data aggregators Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Services, EMODnet, and SeaDataNet. We delivered this infographic in September 2017 for CMEMS, within our project with Mercator Ocean International.

Every three years EuroGOOS brings together a broad range of implementers and users of oceanographic services. The conference reviews the present ocean monitoring and forecasting capacities and oceanographic services and identifies new science and technology priorities.

The Kostas Nittis medal is accompanied by a grant and awarded to a young marine professional within the operational oceanography and broader ocean observing community
