Conférence Future Oceans2 IMBeR Open Science

Future Oceans₂ is the second IMBeR Open Science Conference and will provide an opportunity to join world leading researchers to present advances in science from all disciplines that contribute towards –

ocean sustainability for the benefit of society: understanding, challenges, and solutions

In addition to delivering an update of the pertinent science, Future Oceans₂ will foster productive inter-and trans-disciplinary discussions and provide a forum to strategically map future research directions. Within this context, Future Oceans₂ is based around three interlinked themes –

• Theme 1. Understanding and quantifying the state and variability of marine ecosystems;
• Theme 2. Improving scenarios, predictions and projections of future ocean-human systems at multiple scales; and
• Theme 3. Improving and achieving sustainable ocean governance.

Future Oceans₂ will be an exciting mix of talks (keynote, research, and contributed -up to 10 concurrent sessions each day), posters, workshops, focus groups, world cafés, and other innovative formats to engage delegates. The conference will be preceded by two days of workshops.
