First meeting of the BioGeoSea consortium in Brussels!
Three days of getting to know one another, forming working relationships and building a shared understanding of what lies ahead. Through open discussion, early planning and lively exchange, we laid the groundwork for the project’s first steps and strengthened the sense of working together as one team...
The BioGeoSea project officially came to life in Brussels — not just as a Horizon Europe initiative, but as a shared effort, a growing community, and a coordinated step towards improving how we observe and understand ocean biogeochemistry.
Over three days, from 29 September to 1 October 2025, project partners gathered at the CSIC Office in Brussels for our kick-off meeting. The event brought together 36 participants onsite and 6 online, including all partner institutions, three members of the Advisory and Foresight Committee, one EC Policy Officer, and the responsible REA Project Officer.
The tone was set early: collaboration, openness and the ambition to drive biogeochemical ocean observing forward — together.
