The goal of EuroGO-SHIP is to shape a new Research Infrastructure and to contribute to a better alignment of the development of the existing Research Infrastructure landscape, with the advancement of excellent science and frontier research.
As part of this objective, we hosted a RI Workshop this past summer in Venice (Get a full overview of organisations represented here). The event was not only an opportunity for EuroGO-SHIP to define its place in the Marine Science RI landscape but also an unprecedented opportunity for participants to come together and discuss the wider system of European marine science services. Judging from the comments below, the event was highly valued by its participants.
“I was very happy to attend the EuroGO-SHIP workshop because it was a good way to meet other RI representatives. We had good exchanges to discuss possible joint services, and express our ideas. I think EuroGO-SHIP is a good opportunity for research infrastructure in the marine domain to discuss gaps in terms of services.” Ingrid Puillat – General Director of EMSO ERIC
“I’m very glad to have been invited to this workshop because, as it’s been said, it’s the first of its kind with (many) marine research infrastructures together and looking at the specific contributions that we could make with EuroGO-SHIP. It was also a very good occasion to really think together how to really have the best synergy, and how we should evolve in the future.” Yann-Hervé De Roeck
“I was excited today because the EuroGO-SHIP workshop provided the opportunity to get together with other research infrastructures. And this identified the need for us to exchange more, and to evaluate how we can work together.” Joanna Voynova
“It was a very valuable day because, for a long time I’d not had the opportunity to have discussions with other research infrastructure…The discussion was very rich.” Laurent Delauney – IFremer, JERICO coordinator, EOS operation committee chair
“Today’s workshop was quite interesting for us because it brings in a lot of views from different actors and stakeholders into the marine domain discussion, and we have discussed what implications there will be for EuroGO-SHIP when it becomes an RI, and how it will fit into the current landscape of the marine infrastructures.” Emmanuel Salmon – WP5 Lead, ICOS
“This meeting was an excellent opportunity to see how these different RIs work together to create this network that we need for Europe to have sustainable, reliable information on the ocean parameters. And it is also really important to have this exchange between the RIs to get an idea of how we can optimise things, where we can collaborate…it was a very nice and interesting experience.” Holger Brix – Helmholtz Centrum Hereon, representing JERICO and EuroGOOS
