Program

This year’s program features cutting-edge marine research, engaging breakout sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. Guided by our moderator Sjoerd Groeskamp, we will explore the theme “Whose Ocean? Whose Future? Whose Responsibility?” from diverse disciplinary perspectives—a timely discussion ahead of the upcoming One Ocean and UN Ocean Conference in Nice later that week.
