Thank you for your interest in being part of this co-creative process by taking our survey:
Towards a Blueprint for Integrated Ocean Science.
This survey is part of the BioEcoOcean project: Co-Creating Transformative Pathways to Biological and Ecosystem Ocean Observations funded by Horizon Europe (Grant Agreement Number: 101136748).
We are co-creating a Blueprint for Integrated Ocean Science with a focus on biology and ecosystems in the ocean. The vision for the Blueprint is to create a question-based support tool to enable and encourage collaboration to increase our understanding of the ocean and especially its marine life. The Blueprint aims to include all aspects of ocean observing; from reviewing, planning, data collection, data management, analysis, modelling, data products to policy application and beyond.
This survey takes about 8-10 minutes and it is the very first step in the Blueprint development. Your input is therefore very important. The Blueprint development process will be accessible on www.BioEcoOcean.org. The ready product will be launched as a resource platform in autumn 2027.
Yours sincerely,
Associate Professor Lina Mtwana Nordlund & Dr. Artur Palacz
