Following the successful EuroGOOS conferences held in The Hague (1996), Rome (1999), Athens (2002), and Brest (2005), the 5th meeting will be held in Exeter, UK in May 2008.
2008 promises to be an important year for operational oceanography, with the FP6 projects in their mid-term, the start of FP7 and actions to establish the GMES Marine Core Service. The community must respond to the need for environmental information to support the EU Maritime Policy and implementation of the Marine Strategy Directive.
The EuroGOOS Conference will provide a timely opportunity to review progress, and to present and discuss plans for the future, covering all aspects of operational oceanography. EuroGOOS 2008 will cover all aspects of operational oceanography; progress to date and plans for the furture.
