Capacity building and training

In 2019, the Biological Station Helgoland (Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (Germany) and The Lovén Centre - Kristineberg (University of Gothenburg - Sweden) in cooperation with Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) and Alleco Finland offer the 5th international course “European Scientific Diver” within the framework of the ESD regulations published by the European Scientific Diving Panel (ESDP) of the EU-Marine Board.

The Ocean Teacher Global Academy is hosting a training course on the discovery and use of operational ocean data products and services. This course will provide knowledge and hands-on experience for the data, satellites and instrumentation, access and formats, tools and software for operational activities.

The European Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRIplus) has announced its third training school and conference on Environmental Time Series Analysis, to be held in Tromsø, Norway with a focus on environmental science and applications to climate change, and particularly on atmospheric composition and time series measurements.

The Global Ocean Oxygen Network (GO2NE) from the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO) is organising an International Summer School that will be held from September 2 to 8, 2019 in China on Xiamen University Xiang’an Campus which hosts the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science (MEL).

This course is a short, intensive course hosted by Wageningen University. The course aims to introduce participants to the formulation of policies, strategies and action plans for aquaculture development require the involvement of all stakeholders, taking the ecosystem where development is taking place (or planned) as a basis. At farm level best management practices should be applied and environmentally responsible methods and techniques can be used to reduce negative impacts and ensure the long-term sustainability.

This workshop will take place in Constanta, Romania from 29-31 August 2018. The activities consist of part of the European COST Action Ocean Governance for Sustainability (CA 15217) a Land-Sea Interactions Training School will be held at Ovidius University of Constanta, Romania. The workshop is aimed at early career researchers, which includes anyone who is pursuing a PhD or has received their PhD within the past 3 years.

This course is structured as a five-day Summer School providing a unique insight into the contemporary debate on Data Management in the environmental and earth sciences. Leading scientists and experienced technical specialists will address this topic from different perspectives. The school is mainly addressed to staff working in the relevant international research infrastructures. The school is also open to PhD students and PostDocs. Master students about to start a Doctorate will be accepted.

GEO is inviting climate partners and those interesting in supporting the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement to attend the 1st GEO Climate Workshop: Earth Observations for the Paris Agreement in Geneva, Switzerland, following the 2018 GEO Symposium. 

This training course will serve the purpose of introducing participants to many key aspects of European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) Sequence Retrieval. The course will introduce participants to a number of areas, including:
