Capacity building and training

ED2MIT is a series of training courses for topics related to data literacy, data management and modern platforms for digitalisation in the maritime industry to facilitate its readiness to Industry 4.0. 

Three courses are planned between January and March 2021:

Introduction to Big Data Analytics for the Maritime Sector

19,21,26 & 28 January 2021

Registration deadline 18 January

Industrial Data Spaces, Organisational Data Management & Governance for the Maritime Sector

A new training course on Blue Biotechnologies, jointly organised by BlueMed CSA and the BlueBio ERANET COFUND, is now open for applications.

The 8th SOLAS Summer School will be held from 7-18 June 2021 at the Ocean Science Centre Mindelo, Cape Verde.

It will bring together over 70 students and 20 world-leading international scientists, in a variety of fields, for a combination of lectures and practical workshops. 

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, a contingency plan for the school has been developed. The school will be postponed if the situation worsens and travel is no longer possible.

The deadline for applications to this course has been extended to March 31st, 2020.

The 2020 Advanced school on Multispecies modelling Approaches for ecosystem based marine REsource management in the MEDiterranean Sea, AMARE-MED 2020 will be held at the University of Split (Croatia) from 20 to 25 July 2020.

Eurofleets+ is a unique consortium of research vessels, equipment and scientists supported by 42 marine institutes, universities, foundations and SMEs from 24 countries around the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea that provide access to training and research opportunities.

EuroMarine Member Organisation SZN Anton Dohrn has announced registrations are open for a Knowledge Exchange and Training course on Metabarcoding and Metagenomic Data Processing and Analyses. This course, which is sponsored by the Assemble+ project and the European Commission, will be hosted by SZN in Naples, Italy from February 3rd to 7th, 2020.

As part of the MarCons COST action, the Institute of Marine Science (ICM-CSIC) has organised a course aimed at introducing qualitative mathematical modelling as a means to understand and predict the dynamics of complex biological and socio-economic systems. The course is free of charge, and a limited number of trainees may apply for financial support to attend.

The OceanTeacher Global Academy (OTGA) is offering a training course in research data management, which covers the planning, creating, storing, organizing, accessing, sharing, describing, publishing and curating of data.

The Ocean Teacher Global Academy is hosting a training course which provides students with both background reading assignments that cover the main course topics, and hands-on exercises, that explore the essential elements of ocean currents data quality control and analysis methods. The course assists participants in developing specific technical skills and methods for using ocean currents data.
