EVOLVE

EMSO EVOLVE positions EMSO ERIC to become Europe’s leading long-term ocean-observing body by 2035, moving from single-site observation to basin-scale observation and towards service-oriented operations.

Its mission is the sustained observation and analysis of Essential Ocean Variables from the seabed and along the water column, building on EMSO’s network of deep-ocean and water-column observatories across European seas.

The strategy rests on five structuring goals: stronger sustainability and governance efficiency; scientific excellence and observation centrality; upgraded upstream data services; better downstream, user-oriented services; and capacity building through the EMSO Academy.
