Dear Comms team
I hope my message finds you well!
I’ve just uploaded an event that I’d like RDA to promote to the
community – see details below – is there anyway you can help?
Best
Sara

Title Towards an All-Atlantic Data Space for the Ocean
Date Thu, 03/06/2021
Location Online
Event description
A workshop jointly organised by the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance
(AANChOR), the G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative, H2020
Blue-Cloud, H2020 iAtlantic and H2020 AtlantECO, as a side-event at the
All-Atlantic2021 R&I for a Sustainable Ocean Stakeholder Conference
========
The oceans, seas, and coasts are home to diverse marine ecosystems. They
provide a wealth of resources, influence climate, and offer many
economic opportunities. Marine ecosystems are sensitive to long-term
global change and combinations of multiple local pressures can affect
ecosystems in unpredictable ways. More understanding of natural dynamics
and effects is needed to enable sustainable use and conservation of
these ecosystems. Given the range of threats, and the relative lack of
knowledge about marine ecosystems, the United Nations (UN) has declared
the next decade (2021-2030) the “United Nations Decade of Ocean Science
for Sustainable Development”.
States all across the world deploy monitoring programmes at national and
regional level to support national marine governance goals, several
regional policies, and the growing demands for sustainable use of
resources. Research institutes operate research vessels and many other
platforms and instruments for gathering in-situ observation data on a
global scale. Their data is mostly used for scientific research, but
also complements the data acquired by States through monitoring
activities, gathering long time series. In addition, marine data are
also collected by private organisations in support of economic
activities. Increasingly marine and ocean data and information is also
derived from Earth Observation (EO). Space technologies, infrastructure,
services and data nowadays provide also important input for addressing
societal challenges and big global concerns.
The past, present and future of an All-Atlantic Data Space for the Ocean
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an arena to debate about EU
and international initiatives working to harmonize and facilitate data
sharing across the Atlantic, and provide demonstrations of available
tools, training, and the latest open science ‘blue cloud’ technologies
to make data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
The workshop engages Atlantic partners in a dialogue to identify the
technical needs and challenges of data sharing across the Atlantic ‘pole
to pole’, and work to establish the necessary collaborations between
nations and organizations required to jointly address regional and
global ocean issues in the coming decade.
Who should attend?
Policy makers, funding agencies, e-Infrastructures and Research
Infrastructures, data providers, research & academic institution
representatives, research communities, industry representatives,
maritime business and innovation clusters, and projects related to blue
economy from countries around the Atlantic.
The event is free and open to all interested stakeholders, registration
is required

Relevance for RDA Community
The goals and objectives of AANCHOR, the G7 Future of the Seas and
Oceans Initiative and of the H2020 iAtlantic, AtlantECO and Blue-Cloud
initiatives all rest on this essential foundation of data sharing, and
the alignment of data collection and management practices with
international standards and best practices is the necessary first step
towards the transformational changes required to meet Sustainable
Development Goals, the goals of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for
Sustainable Development, and the development of a sustainable Blue
Economy. Therefore the interest for the Research Data Alliance at large.
