MonGOOS General Assembly & Workshop 2025

Date
02/12/2025 - 04/12/2025

We are pleased to announce that the annual MonGOOS General Assembly and Workshop will take place on:

📅 2–4 December 2025
📍 Lisbon, Portugal – hosted by our active member +ATLANTIC CoLAB

This will be the first time the event is held outside the Mediterranean region, marking an exciting milestone for our community.

🧪 Workshop Theme (3–4 December 2025)

“Mediterranean Sea multiscale variability: knowledge, impacts, and road ahead”

Rationale

The state of the Mediterranean Sea evolves across multiple time and spatial scales, driven by both external forcing and internal dynamics. From large, quasi-steady currents spanning hundreds of kilometers to mesoscale, submesoscale, and small-scale turbulence at just a few meters, these processes strongly influence the basin’s biogeochemistry, productivity, and overall health.

With climate change amplifying existing pressures—such as intense maritime traffic, overfishing, mass tourism, pollution, biodiversity loss, and habitat degradation—understanding these multiscale interactions has never been more critical. Advancing our knowledge is key to predicting the basin’s future and safeguarding its ecosystems and societies.

As in previous years, the General Assembly will precede the workshop, taking place on 2 December 2025.
