The FixO3 project is offering two fully funded workshops for early career scientists, PhD students and Post-docs:
- “An introduction and practical use of European marine data infrastructures”, held on April 15-16, 2015. Atlantic Hotel Universum, Bremen, Germany.
This is a two-day workshop for less experienced users of data. The agenda will be built around the following topics:
- Obtaining data from existing European marina data infrastructures (e.g. EMODnet, MyOcean, PANGAEA, EurOBIS, ICES, SeaDataNet)
- Importance of metadata and property rights
- Use of available tools to aggregate, harmonise, and transform data (e.g. WoRMS, ODV, Matlab, …)
The EuroGOOS Office participates and contributes at this FixO3 Workshop, where we will give an introduction and practical use of data collected within the ROOSs and the different EMODnet lots.
Space availability: Maximum 20 candidates
Registration Deadline: April 5th 2015

- “A Practical introduction to marine monitoring hardware and procedures”, held on September 15th – 17th , 2015. OGS, Trieste, Italy.
A three-day hands-on practical workshop involving exposure to some of the latest precision ocean monitoring sensors and equipment at OGS (Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale) in Trieste, Italy. This is an excellent opportunity to develop a working knowledge of the challenges of ocean monitoring and to work with the equipment, calibration and operational procedures for the measurement of some key parameters including temperature, salinity, O2, pH and pCO2.
The agenda will be built around the following topics:
- Methodologies of measurements of basic parameters
- Overview of hardware and monitoring
- Importance of accurate observational data
- Calibration best practices
- Data Quality Control
- Demonstration of the deployment of observational platforms and visit to the local deployed buoy
Space availability: Maximum 15 candidates
Registration Deadline: April 30th 2015
