EurOCEAN 2014 - Open for registration

EurOCEAN conferences are major European marine science policy conferences. EurOCEAN 2014 will take place from 7 to 9 October 2014 in Rome, Italy, as an official event of the Italian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Date:

From07/10/2014to09/10/2014

Venue:

Rome, Italy

Organiser:

Italian National Research Council (CNR), National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS) and National Inter-University Consortium for Marine Sciences (CoNISMa), as well as the European Marine Board and the European Commission

Addressing marine and maritime research and policy, the EurOCEAN 2014 conference will bring together marine scientists from a broad range of disciplines with policymakers, industry and NGOs from 7 to 9 October in Rome, Italy.

The key objective for the events is the ‘Rome Declaration’ – agreement on a common vision on achieving an ecosystem approach to the management of Europe’s marine resources. This is seen as a fundamental requirement for sustainable Blue Growth.

The declaration will reflect the consensus of the EurOCEAN 2014 participants, and therefore that of the European marine science community.

EurOCEAN 2014 will also emphasise that a growing and sustainable maritime economy (Blue Growth) will also require a much greater understanding of marine ecosystem functioning and resilience.
