SUMMARY:A DECADE IN THE DEEP: CELEBRATING 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF EMSO ERIC
DESCRIPTION:The year 2026 marks the 10th Anniversary of EMSO becoming a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).  \nEstablished by the European Commission in September 2016 following years of rigorous preparatory work\, EMSO ERIC has spent the last decade anchoring Europe’s marine research capabilities. By providing uninterrupted\, high-quality data from the ocean surface to the abyss\, EMSO serves as an essential foundation for global environmental science and climate change research. \nToday\, EMSO stands as more than an infrastructure; it is a thriving ecosystem of researchers\, engineers\, and cutting-edge regional facilities dedicated to understanding our ocean’s future. \nTo celebrate this milestone\, the core anniversary events will take place from 15 to 16 December 2026 in Rome\, Italy\, at the Barceló Roma. \nProgramme Overview\nTuesday 15th December – 10 Years of EMSO Science: Observing the Changing Ocean \nA full-day academic programme showcasing EMSO’s scientific excellence and observation milestones. The day will feature international keynote lectures\, panel discussions\, and thematic presentations. \nThe scientific tracks are structured around the four fundamental research priorities guiding our open-ocean and deep-sea monitoring efforts to understand global environmental changes: \n\nOcean Dynamics: Open ocean temporal variability across spatial scales\nNatural Hazards: Spatio-temporal process variability and geohazards\nMarine Ecosystems: Assessing baseline and potential changes of open ocean benthic and pelagic ecosystems\nClimate Change: Geophysical events\, climatic/anthropogenic changes\, and deep carbon storage\n\nThe day will conclude with a dedicated poster session and a welcoming Ice Breaker happy hour. \nFor whom: Scientists\, engineers\, regional facility leads\, and Service Group members. \n  \nWednesday 16th December – Info day and Official Ceremony \nWednesday seamlessly bridges the gap between technical value chains\, governance\, and high-level political synergy. \n\nMorning (Info Day): The morning opens with EMSO Info day\, focusing on the technology value chain from deep-sea observation to knowledge dissemination. Sessions will showcase how technology serves science under extreme conditions and present EMSO’s Catalogue of Services\, including Physical Access (PA) for researchers and private companies\, Virtual Access (VA) for data delivery to European and international data aggregators\, and training frameworks via the EMSO Academy.\nAfternoon & Evening (Anniversary Ceremony): The peak of our celebration features the Official Anniversary Ceremony. Bringing together ministry delegates\, European Commission representatives\, and international partners\, this high-level session highlights a decade of political commitment and impactful science.\n\nThe day will conclude with a celebratory social event \n\nFor whom: Assembly of Member delegates\, ministry representatives\, industry partners\, and scientific stakeholders.\n\n  \nExhibition Space\nThroughout both days\, a dedicated exhibition area will host dynamic industrial and national booths. Stay tuned\, more details on our exhibitors are coming soon! \nRegistration and invitations\nOfficial invitations and the central registration portal will open soon. Secure your spot early to join the conversation. \nGet in Touch \nHave questions before registration opens? Reach out to the organizing team at events@emso-eu.org  \n
