To collect data on #Ocean observations, to Curate data to deliver core services, to Connect through #EU_DTO the European data for decision support

This #Ocean Observing Initiative is a unique opportunity to ensure that we get a sustained #EOOS and to operationalise the #EU_DTO - while the new EU Ocean Research abd Innovation Strategy that will be written in the next year.

Patrizio talks about the neural networks and #AI models to run the #EU_DTO emulators.

How the #BridgeBS is and will be integrated into the #EU_DTO

Afternoon session of the #Bridge-BS meeting is on the integration into the #EU_DTO

And the outcomes including the Bridge_BS #EU_DTO demonstrator, accelarator, young ambassadors, Black Sea lighthouse, the #CONNECT project.

Our group of #ECOPS proposed a knowledge base for @allatlantico.bsky.social knowledge hub. To enrich science and support decision makers. To connect the scientists with communities - including humanities and culture with @emodnet.bsky.social and #EU_DTO

Nicole du Plessis from SAEON highlights the South African Ocean observation and data needs. Including in deep sea connectivity, sensor developement, and the #OceanPredict network to build a Digital twin on the #EU_DTO

He highlights the #MissionOcean and how they want to invest in the #OceanObservation technologies and the #EU_DTO !
There will be space for scientists to participate in shaping the future of Ocean reseach in the future R&I strategy in the #EuropeanOceanPact.

we need to accelerate and scale up nationally at
European level and Internationally - she highlights the Europe Digital flagship Destination Earth programme - in synergy with the #EU_DTO - new programme published on 1 April - also highlight European innovation hubs for digital ...

...Very well aligned with the #MARE initiative for coordinating #OceanObservations and the #EU_DTO #EOOS - extremely important to continue this work and should work with the #MissionOcean #EU_DTO ...
Discussed the #OceanPact at the #Council yesterday. ... highlight the importance of #OceanLiteracy

Patrizio - numerical models need lots of data but the #EU_DTO needs even more data - robotics and distributed sensors. use AI for monitoring is where research is needed.

Elisabeth Hamdouch from DG DEFIS - the #EU_DTO is a good collator of data

to interface data with better risk management & assessment we need
to strengthen real time monitoring,
this needs to be integrated with multi-hazard early warning systems,
observations are critical for numerical and predictive AI models,
models need to be customised for use in
#EU_DTO
