Science Advisory Working Group (SAWG)

The EuroGOOS Science Advisory Working Group (SAWG) works to provide information and guidance on research priorities at National, regional, and pan-European levels. It helps translate these priorities into possible actions to be performed by EuroGOOS members, ROOS, Task Teams, and Working Groups.

Key objectives

  • Supporting cross-cutting integration among ROOS, WGs, and TTs on scientific and technological aspects.
  • Supporting the implementation of the EuroGOOS strategy and development of EOOS.
  • Giving advice by identifying scientific gaps and addressing the scientific challenges in developing seamless modelling, monitoring and forecasting capacities, covering full-scale marine space, time and parameters, and serving public safety, blue growth, climate change adaptation, and ocean health services.
  • Facilitating scientific gaps and cooperation with relevant external communities, e.g. marine environment, fishery, climate change, or commercial blue-growth sectors.
