Blue-Cloud has taken a step further towards co-designing a collective, community vision for the future evolution of a web-based cyberspace where marine researchers and innovators will come together to share data and engage in Open Science to advance knowledge and sustainability of the Ocean. Have your say in the way this ambitious initiative develops into the future, so it responds to your needs and expectations.
Since April 2020, Blue-Cloud has been cooperating with FNS-Cloud thanks to the commonalities shared by the initiatives in integrating data on the thematic European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and fostering methods to make data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).

Blue-Cloud joined a 10-project-strong group called "Nourishing Blue Economy, Sharing Ocean Knowledge" in the context of the EC-funded Horizon Results Booster, focussing on supporting excellence in marine research, policies & partnerships in Europe and beyond.
On Thursday 3 June, Blue-Cloud is co-hosting a joint workshop with the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance (AANChOR), the G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative, and the two Horizon 2020 projects iAtlantic and AtlantECO, as a side-event at the All-Atlantic 2021.
The "Plankton Genomics: Multidisciplinary data mining to assess plankton distributions" webinar took place on 23 April 2021. It welcomed more than 70 participants and gave the opportunity to learn more about the Blue-Cloud Plankton Genomics demonstrator.

For the third interview in our series with representatives of Blue-Cloud data infrastructures, we exchanged a few words with Thierry Carval from IFREMER. Let's find out how Euro-Argo is contributing to the evolution of Blue-Cloud.
The online workshop "Open Science for the Ocean: Meet the Blue-Cloud demonstrators" welcomed more than 140 participants from all over the world, introducing the Blue-Cloud technical framework, the five demonstrators, as well as the Strategic Roadmap to 2030.
The second interview in our series with representatives of Blue-Cloud data infrastructures is with Guy Cochrane from EMBL-EBI. Let's discover how the European Nucleotide Archive is contributing to Blue-Cloud's activities.
The All-Atlantic2021 “All-Atlantic R&I for a Sustainable Ocean: Ministerial High-Level & Stakeholders Conference” launched a survey to identify and characterize stakeholders interested in promoting marine Research and Innovation (R&I) at the All-Atlantic level and, therefore, strengthen the All-Atlantic Marine Research & Innovation Community.
The NEANIAS project has launched its first Open Call to reward researchers in the Atmosphere and Underwater & Space Science EOSC environments. Learn more and apply now, deadline on 9 April 2021.
The public consultation towards the Blue-Cloud Strategic Roadmap to 2030 has reached an important milestone: contributions have been gathered from nearly 100 stakeholders to shape policy recommendations for evolving Blue-Cloud as a thematic, cloud-based Open Science ecosystem for marine research into the future.
The EU-funded H2020 project Blue-Cloud contributed to advancing the interoperability of fisheries data. The FAO FIRMS Global Tuna Atlas will support and improve fisheries management across the globe.
Our impressions on the first Digital Ocean Forum held in Paris on 20-21 April, hosted by Mercator Ocean International, introducing the Digital Twin Ocean.
Blue-Cloud experts from VLIZ, GHER-Uliege, CNRS, Sorbonne University, EMBL-EBI, CMCC, IFREMER, FAO, CLS, have prepared a list of brief articles explaining what researchers can do within our current Virtual Labs.
CORDIS has recently released a synergy info pack for the "Restore our ocean and waters" EU Mission, and Blue-Cloud was included in the list of projects to watch.
The Blue-Cloud Hackathon brought together nearly 150 participants from a diverse community of marine science practitioners, computer scientists and innovators to test Blue-Cloud's web-based ecosystem of Open Science services and resources to address selected Ocean challenges. Three teams were awarded for their work towards improving aquaculture management and studying wildlife interactions.
