The Atlantic Ocean and Research Alliance (AORA) is organising an upcoming high-level ministerial event from 12-14 July 2017. Together with the EU Member States, efforts to develop scientific cooperation in the South and Tropical Atlantic and in the Southern Ocean have been ongoing for the last years. This event will bring together key political leaders and stakeholders from Europe, as well as from Brazil and South Africa, who will discuss interactively on, among others:
- climate and ecosystem approaches;
- earth and ocean observation and forecasting systems;
- food security, fisheries management and aquaculture;
- ocean technology;
- Polar research (especially interconnections between the Atlantic and Antarctica).
More information will follow and registrations will open soon. Please, contact rtd-atlantic@ec.europa.eu for any queries regarding the event.
