International Symposium for Marine Research, 28th June - 1st July 2011, Brest
The future of the 21st Century ocean: Marine Sciences and European Research Infrastructures - International Symposium
Taking place from the 28th June to 1st July 2011, Europole Mer invites scientists, managers of Research Infrastructures and stakeholders to Brest to discuss the scientific challenges faced by Research Infrastructures.
The general aims of the symposium are:
* to identify the major challenges for marine science in this century,
* to foster interactions between managers and users of the Research Infrastructures, including sponsors, scientists, industry and stakeholders.

Following the symposium, specific European programs will take the opportunity to hold internal workshops.
These are:
* EMBRC : provides access to models and related genomic resources of marine organisms;
* Euro-Argo : the European contribution to Argo, a global ocean observing system required for climate change research and operational oceanography;
* EMSO : manages deep seafloor observatories for continuous monitoring of the environment and for security;
* JERICO : a joint European research infrastructure network of coastal observatories;
* Euro-Marine: an FP7 initiative to integrate 3 FP6 Networks of Excellence (Eur-Oceans, Marbef, and Marine Genomics Europe)
* EMSAC: after one and a half year of operation, the European Marine Science Applications Consortium will hold its interim meeting.
