“The oceans are essential for our well-being, as a major climate buffer, a biodiversity haven and a source of much-needed resources. Global change and intensive use threaten these oceanic services. More sustainable use of the oceans calls for creative ideas and new technology. Together with students, scientists, society, governments and industry we need to explore innovative solutions. OOC is a unique platform for bringing challenges and solutions together.”
