The EuroMarine Open Science Day & General Assembly Meeting 2023 took place in Lisbon last February 1 and 2, under the theme "How can the marine research community contribute to identify and address the Scientific Knowledge Gaps to tackle the global ocean challenges?"

EuroMarine is scientifically coordinated by co-chairs Isabel Sousa-Pinto (CIIMAR) and Patrizio Mariani (DTU).

After a first day dedicated to an open discussion on how researchers can continue to help restore the oceans and promote the sustainable development of the Blue Economy, EuroMarine General Assembly members worked on defining the strategy for the coming years. 

Also signed was the Mission Ocean Charter, which calls for united efforts to achieve the goals of the EU Mission: Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030.
