The online conference
The event at the Explora museum was created to celebrate ‘Navigating Tomorrow’s Oceans: Young Marine Scientists Conference’, an international meeting held as part of the European SHORE project.
The conference brings together young marine scientists to address new challenges and promote innovation in ocean sciences, thanks to the contribution of experts, institutions and winners of prestigious environmental awards. It is an opportunity to foster dialogue, collaboration and openness towards new solutions for the protection of the oceans and the future of marine research.
