Sister projects

We maintain close relations with the projects funded under the same EU Horizon funding call, working towards more holistic and integrated ocean observation. Together with our sister projects, we:

  • Form the European Essential Ocean Variables (EOV) Network. Find the Network’s Terms of Reference here.
  • Arrange clustering events to advance the work. Find the report from our Clustering Event Nr. 1 here.
  • Coordinate work through meetings and workshops. Find the report from our cross-project online workshop here.
