Each year several top scientists visit the IOC Project Office for IODE in Oostende to cooperate in projects on oceanography, oceanographic data- and information management and marine biodiversity. In order to give marine scientists in Flanders the opportunity to stay informed about the latest developments in the field of oceanography in general and marine data and information management, marine biodiversity and ocean modeling in particular the IOC Project Office for IODE has started with the organisation of scientific seminars. These IODE Seminars are open to the wide marine science community in Flanders and abroad.
In the week of 14 to 18 December Ostend is the host of an international course for the implementing of satelite wind and wave producten in marine forecasts. European and American specialists train 30 participants from all over the world. (more information)
