Within this framework, Blue-Cloud is the thematic EOSC for the marine domain, delivering a collaborative virtual environment that provides access to blue services that will complement EOSC base services. Learn more on how Blue-Cloud contributes to EOSCThe Blue-Cloud strategic Roadmap to 2030 is a policy document providing the basis for the future sustainability of the Blue-Cloud, as a leading system in the wider marine community and as a valuable component of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).The Roadmap is fed from European and global players operating in the marine research sector and Blue Economy area. The vision and strategic plan will guide the further development and evolution into its medium and longer-term future.Read moreThrough collaboration and cooperation with initiatives operating in the same field, the value of Blue-Cloud services increases. Since the launch of Blue-Cloud, the project has proactively worked on establishing strong partnerships between a variety of actors, aiming to create long-lasting relationships both for attaining Blue-Cloud’s long-term objectives and contributing to shaping the strategic Roadmap to 2030.Discover the projects & the cooperation with Blue-CloudA number of articles, reports, and other relevant publications are being produced within Blue-Cloud to complement and explain the activities and outputs of the project. In this section are also gathered Research articles and Press news pieces about Blue-Cloud achievements and goals. Enjoy the Readings!Over 7-9 February 2022, the Blue-Cloud Hackathon brought together nearly 150 participants from a diverse community of marine science practitioners, computer scientists and innovators to test Blue-Cloud's web-based ecosystem of Open Science services and resources to address selected Ocean challenges. Three teams were awarded for their work towards improving aquaculture management and studying wildlife interactions.

Creating open science platforms to facilitate the use and reuse of oceanic data is a team work activity, and cannot be achieved by one project alone. Blue-Cloud poses special attention to this aspect for creating valuable cooperation among projects operating in the Blue Economy and Marine Research and over the course of the last three yearshas established strong synergies with initiatives in this area to foster the adoption of its innovative open-science solutions.Read more 18 August 2022Piloting Blue-Cloud services at the Ocean Hackathon 2022For the first time, Blue-Cloud will be a data provider in the Ocean Hackathon organised by Campus Mondial de la Mer, supporting exciting challenges for marine research and the blue economy.Read more 12 August 2022Integration of Blue-Cloud services in the “Wildlife Tracker for Oceans”The Wildlife Tracker for Oceans has developed a marine conservation application exploiting data from the Blue-Cloud VLab Zoo & Phytoplankton EOV products.On 26 July the teamheld a webinar to show how this app was successfully implemented for theGalapagos Whale Shark Project.Read more 09 August 2022Advancing priorities for ocean microbiome researchBlue-Cloud was mentioned in the list of repositories for ocean microbiome datasets in a recent article published on Nature Microbiology, produced by experts fromTara Ocean Foundation, Tara Oceans, EMBL and EMBRC-ERIC.Read more 11 July 2022Explore EMODnet data via Blue-Cloud Data Discovery & Access ServiceThe Blue-Cloud Data Discovery & Access Service was featured in the EMODnet Annual Report 2021 as one of the most relevant EU infrastructures for Open Science.
