BIOSPACE25 is the first international conference exclusively dedicated to the application of Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) across the various dimensions of biodiversity, and addressing the use of Earth Observations in all realms, from terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal to marine ecosystems.

The goal of the BIOSPACE conferences is to offer insightful exploration of critical biodiversity challenges that Earth Observation systems should primarily address, to showcase cutting-edge SRS solutions in different biodiversity domains, and to foster collaborative efforts to advance the use and impact of Earth Observation in biodiversity science, monitoring and policy implementation.

The BIOSPACE25 conference is organised jointly by the European Space Agency, the European Commission, the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) and the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), in collaboration with a number of partner organisations.

The spotlight of BlueInvest Day lies on both successful and high-potential investment initiatives, emphasising their impact on sustainability and their transformative potential.

Our Mission: provide a dynamic platform for existing and potential members of the BlueInvest Community to converge. This annual event aims to catalyse investment and innovation initiatives within the Blue Economy, promoting sustainability and transformative impact across industries.

Looking ahead to 2025, we are preparing the next EMD and are thrilled to introduce you to the city of Cork in Ireland where the conference will be held as an in-person event (with some live streaming) for 1000+ participants. Have a look at the beautiful video and enjoy the beautiful maritime landscape which will give you a taste of what the next EMD will look like.

The Third International Symposium on Epigenetics in Marine and Aquatic Research (EPIMAR2025), will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from May 27 to 30, 2025

It will promote the gathering and exchange of information among researchers interested in marine epigenetics, covering a variety of cutting-edge aspects, and thus contribute to consolidating the “Epimar community”.

The Congress will feature a mix of plenary sessions, including opening and keynote speeches, alongside parallel oral and poster presentations. To enhance interactions between science and society, action and policy, and to engage civil society more broadly, ‘townhalls’ such as panels and roundtables will also be arranged.

This event is part of The UN Ocean Conference 2025.

The abstract submission deadline is Thursday, 14 November 2024, 13:00 CET

The high-level 2025 United Nations Conference to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development (the 2025 UN Ocean Conference) will be co-hosted by France and Costa Rica and held in Nice, France, from 9 – 13 June 2025.

The overarching theme of the Conference is “Accelerating action and mobilizing all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean”. The Conference aims to support further and urgent action to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development and identify further ways and means to support the implementation of SDG 14. It will build on existing instruments to form successful partnerships towards the swift conclusion and effective implementation of ongoing processes that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean.
