OceanPredict'24

Agenda

The OceanPredict ’24 will be exciting and varied, featuring plenary sessions, discussions, poster sessions, a large number of splinter sessions, and exhibitions, which will support and encourage exchange and networking with symposium attendees representing diverse and exciting ocean communities. The four days of the symposium (Mon-Thu) will allow attendees to gain a broad view, and at the same time in-depth understanding of OceanPredict work, research & development, communities, partner interaction and industry and society benefit. Days 3 and 4 specifically, are set up to allow hands-on experience through training, townhall discussion, specialised technical meetings, and options for informal exchange with other meeting attendees. Day 5 will be dedicated to internal OceanPredict meetings. Abstracts submitted to the symposium will be assigned as oral presentations in splinter sessions, with an opportunity for the authors to discuss and receive feedback from an international audience, or as posters for a direct and focused exchange with the full symposium audience in the friendly and inspiring environment of the IOC HQ.
