Advancing Operational Oceanography Across Europe

EuroGOOS is the European component of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) of UNESCO. Based in Brussels, it brings together 48 members and supports five regional systems to strengthen and coordinate ocean observations. By identifying priorities, fostering collaboration, and promoting the value of operational oceanography, EuroGOOS drives the sustained measurements needed to deliver fit-for-purpose marine services.

Register for the upcoming EuroGOOS International Conference

The European Global Ocean Observing System (EuroGOOS) Conference, held every three years, brings together scientists, technologists, policymakers, and industry to discuss how ocean monitoring and forecasting can better support societal and policy needs. The 2026 edition will take place in person from 18–20 May at UCLan Cyprus under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026.
