Scientists and officers from 11 marine Research Infrastructures and marine research communities across Europe gathered to discuss future strategy under a co-designed collaborative plan within the landscape of the UN Decade of Ocean Science and the European Ocean Observing System, with the aim to address and plan the next steps for the following topics:

• sharing of knowledge and expertise,
• strengthening cooperation on both field activities and new technologies,
• creating robust interactive data interfaces,
• promoting joint activities on marine research and services,
• raising public awareness on marine environmental issues.

The report, endorsed by all the 11 Marine RIs is now available for downloading here.
