All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA) Forum

The European Union will host the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA) Forum on 24–26 September in Brussels, Belgium. The event brings together AAORIA Partners and stakeholders from across the Atlantic Ocean. 

The Forum will be a key moment to set the upcoming priorities for AAORIA. This year’s Forum intends to show its commitment to the future of AAORIA and to serve the local communities by continuing to work through ocean science diplomacy to promote a sustainable green and blue transition.

Please note that the main Forum sessions will offer interpretation in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, while the side events will be conducted in English only, without interpretation.

Secondly, side event registration is separate from the main Forum registration. Even if you have already registered for the Forum, you must register separately for each side event you wish to attend.
