BIOcean5D

Welcome to #BIOcean5D! A European, multidisciplinary research team exploring life beneath the waves. There’s still much we don’t know about marine biodiversity, despite its fundamental importance in planetary and human health. Recent research shows how little we understand the abundance, function and dynamics of marine life, and the exceptional rate they’re changing due to human activities. BIOcean5D seeks to explore marine life and how it changes across 5 dimensions: 3-dimensional space, time, and human impact. Over 4 years, we’ll be holistically exploring marine biodiversity and developing novel tools and methods to monitor and understand its functions and its value. Our researchers span 31 partners across 11 countries. In collaboration with #EMBLtrec and the Tara vessel (Fondation Tara Océan), we’re collecting samples and exploring marine life – from viruses to whales – along the entire European seascape from Finland to Crete. Ultimately, we hope that by measuring, monitoring and understanding marine biodiversity, we’ll be able to inform the sustainable management and long-term preservation of our marine ecosystems. Follow us for research updates, scientific and engagement opportunities and ways to get involved across Europe! #marinebiodiversity #teamscience #collaboration #marinescience #marineconservation #biodiversity #research

📢 Last chance to register and join us in person for #EESWildModels! 🌏 'Wild frontiers of model organisms' will bring together lab- and field-focused researchers from ecology, genomics, quantitative cell and molecular biology and showcase how exploring the wild frontiers of model systems is increasing our understanding of the biology, ecology and evolution of organisms, ranging from microbes to plants and animals 🌿🦈 Attend talks, network, socialise, and experience the EMBL Heidelberg campus atmosphere! 🧬🤩 👉🏻 s.embl.org/ees25-02 🎫 Register by 25 February!

🎬 We wrapped up our GA yesterday but there’s still more happening… 👩💻👨💻 Today, a BIOcean5D Hackathon to advance #FAIR marine biodiversity data! 🌊 Exploring marine life and how it changes with space, time and human impact requires a vast amount of data… At today’s Hackathon, colleagues producing or working with data within BIOcean5D or #TREC will receive practical hands-on guidance about how to make their marine biodiversity datasets #FAIR 🔵 Findable 🟡 Accessible  🟢 Interoperable 🟣 Reusable ♻️ The #FAIR principles aim to optimise the reuse of data in order to maximise results 🙏 Today’s BIOcean5D Hackathon is organised by Tony Burdett (European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI) and Cláudia Delgado (EMBRC Belgium MarineTraining.eu Ghent University) 👉 Read more about the BIOcean5D Hackathon: https://lnkd.in/esPsrDq3 👉 Learn how the BIOcean5D data hub facilitates our collaborative science: https://lnkd.in/eZtF3z7V 🇪🇺 BIOcean5D is co-funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe) | EU Science, Research and Innovation

🤝 The final day of our 2nd General Assembly Meeting was dedicated to strengthening collaboration with partner projects 🌊 BIOcean5D is proud to collaborate with many fantastic research projects who share our ambitions to understand and protect marine life 🇪🇺 Today, we met with representatives from 7 EU projects to reinforce collaboration and alignment to ensure that together, we can better understand and protect #biodiversity 👉Discover more about how BIOcean5D collaborates with different projects here: https://lnkd.in/eRRBuRNB #EMOBON #MBON #MARBEFES #OBAMANEXT #BlueRemediomics #MARCOBOLO #GEOBON #BioAgora BIOcean5D GA | 📆 11-13 February 2025 | 📍 Barcelona 📸 Guillaume Périgois | Unsplash 🇪🇺 BIOcean5D is co-funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe) | EU Science, Research and Innovation

➡️ Are you a life scientist who wants to develop your data science knowledge and skills? ➡️ Or do you want to improve your ability to visualise complex biological data? ➡️ Maybe you want to learn more about extracting complex biological data from omics datasets? ➡️Or would like some hands-on training in proteomics bioinformatics?
