Engagement through art

The BIOcean5D artists-in-residence program harnesses the power of art as a form of communication to develop citizen engagement with the widest possible public. The legacy of artwork created will ensure a lasting impact beyond the project duration.

UNCBD COP16: connecting science and policy to strengthen ocean conservation – part 2

The BIOcean5D policy brief – launched at UNCBD COP16, in Cali, Colombia – describes innovative scientific approaches to strengthen existing marine protection and conservation strategies.

UNCBD COP16: connecting science and policy to strengthen ocean conservation – part 1

Improving marine protection and conservation strategies requires integrating new and innovative science-based approaches. Bridging the science-policy gap is a major aspect of BIOcean5D, illustrated by the policy brief launch at UNCBD COP16, in Cali, Colombia.

Collaborative multidisciplinary training for marine sustainability

The sustainable management and long-term preservation of our marine ecosystems require multidisciplinary collaboration. The Synergy Summer School, held from 24 to 28 June 2024 in Ischia (Italy), ensures this integrative approach is incorporated within the advanced training of the next cohort of scientists.

Multidisciplinary collaboration to explore a keystone ocean microalga

The TREC expedition enabled a unique set of samples to be collected of the poorly understood marine microalga Phaeocystis. Researchers are now working within BIOcean5D to reveal more about its life cycle through multidisciplinary collaboration and the combination of multiple complementary approaches.

Unravelling biodiversity change with long-term time series

Our BIOcean5D workshop brought scientists together to share knowledge and collectively identify strategies and methodologies for comparing marine biodiversity data. The results of the work will contribute to a better understanding of biodiversity change.
