The ERC project TwinPolitics is proud to present the second semester of the insightful online lecture series Ocean Seminars!
The TwinPolitics Ocean Seminar Series creates a space for discussion between experts from academia, policymaking, and NGOs to exchange ideas on ocean governance. The focus is on recent developments in data, science, and technology—particularly the Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO)—and its role in shaping policies and practices.
The second term runs from October to December 2025, focussing on topics on ocean data practices including topics of the blue economy, public-private partnerships and ocean data bases.
We are happy to introduce experts from all over the world to talk about these topics – the seminar is taking place digitally and is free for everyone interested.
