In conjunction in Aberdeen, Scotland from 18-22 June 2007 First Time for either in the UK!

These major OCEANS and MARINE Conferences will join forces to bring the world-wide marine community of scientists, engineers, technologists and policy makers together in a frame-work of easy and informed discussion. An exhibition of oceanic industry and research institutions will run side-by-side in the state-of-the-art Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC)

The theme of Oceans ‘07 Aberdeen, “Marine Challenges: Coastline to Deep Sea”, highlights the significant challenges; from the shallowest waters around our coasts to the deepest subsea trenches, which face marine and oceanic engineers in our drive to understand the complexities of the world’s oceans and our ability to utilise, explore and preserve this unique environment. Oceans will run from 18-21 June 2007.

The focus of EurOCEAN 2007 will be a consultation, discussion, and analysis of the European Commission’s recently published Green Paper on a future “Maritime Policy” for the EU. This policy is aimed at optimising the economic value of all maritime sectors in a socially and environmentally sustainable way. EurOCEAN 2007 will take place on 22 June 2007 and will play a major role in the consultation process with the marine RTD community.

The Chairs of Oceans ‘07 Aberdeen and EurOCEAN 2007 invite you to participate in this unique event.Aberdeen has a long and distinguished pedigree in maritime affairs stretching back a thousand years through exploration, shipbuilding, fishing and science and engineering to its position now as the “oil and gas capital of Europe”.

It is fitting that Aberdeen is the first UK city to be chosen to host both Oceans and EurOCEAN and the first to host the joint event.
