EuroGOOS International Conference 2026

11th EuroGOOS International Conference 

Call for abstracts now open! | 18-20 May 2026 Larnaca, Cyprus

The European Global Ocean Observing System (EuroGOOS) promotes, since 1994, the development of Operational Oceanography in Europe as the component of the Global Ocean Observing System of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC GOOS).

Every three years the EuroGOOS Conference provides a forum for marine scientists and technologists developing operational oceanography products, and the users of these services including decision and policy-makers as well as the private sector. 

The EuroGOOS Conference offers an opportunity to discuss how well our ocean monitoring and forecasting are supporting societal and policy needs. The event facilitates dialogue among a broad range of ocean observing and forecasting stakeholders, towards a fit-for-purpose ocean information delivery.

This 11th edition will be hosted by EuroGOOS Member, the Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute (CMMI), in collaboration with UCLan Cyprus, offering an inspiring setting for international exchange and collaboration.
