This semester our Ocean Seminards are investigating the future of multilateral organizations, ocean governance and how children can be agents of change.
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.
We are also very proud that this seminar series is now recognized as an official Ocean Decade activity by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
The third term runs from April to June 2026.
