The 1st EMB Early Career Ocean Professional (ECOP) Network Forum

The European Marine Board Ambassadors are organising a two-day EMB ECOP Network Forum to provide training and a space for intergenerational dialogue between EMB ECOPs and European policy makers, experts, and senior scientists. The event will take place in person on Sunday 8 and Monday 9 October 2023 at the Cidade da Cultura, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

During this unique forum, participants will be able to:

1. Participate in training sessions on the European marine science policies landscape, science communication tools to make your science more impactful for policy, and collaboration strategies 
2. Meet and network with other ECOPs from different institutions across Europe to create an interdisciplinary EMB ECOP community 
3. Exchange and open dialogue with policy-makers, experts, as well as senior scientists
4. Have the opportunity to speak with one voice by providing recommendations on how to improve ECOP engagement in the current marine-science policy landscape. These recommendations will be communicated to European science and policy organisations through the EMB.
