One of TRICUSO’s aims is the development of European Bio-GO-SHIP, a new initiative aligned with the international GO-SHIP programme, and inspired by current Bio-GO-SHIP efforts in the US, Australia and Japan to support sustained and consistent observations of open ocean biology.
TRICUSO’s Sophie Clayton (NOC), Alice Soccodato (EMBRC-ERIC) and Tosca Sala (EMBRC-ERIC) invited expressions of interest for an initial scoping meeting to bring together a small group of experienced marine researchers to help define the vision, scope, and initial roadmap for European Bio-GO-SHIP. This will serve as the foundation for broader engagement and official calls for participation in later phases.
This process will unfold through a series of structured workshops:
- An initial online scoping meeting (October/November 2025)
- An international coordination meeting (autumn/winter 2026)
- A broad stakeholder workshop in Paris (summer/autumn 2027)
- A final coordination and synthesis workshop (2028)
We look forward to building this exciting new effort together!
