As part of the Off UNOC program, CNES is offering a series of six public conferences on the theme “Ocean and Space.”
The third edition of the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) will be held in Nice from June 9 to 13, 2025. In parallel with the official program, CNES and the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis have developed an “Off UNOC” program aimed at showcasing to the public the importance of space technology in ocean protection. This includes a series of six conferences on the theme “Oceans and Space,” taking place once a month until April 2025. All of these will be broadcast live on CNES’s YouTube channel.
This third conference focuses on the intergovernmental organization Mercator Ocean International (MOi), a leader in European oceanographic excellence. For nearly 30 years, MOi has been developing ocean forecasting models. In this role, the organization implements and operates the European Copernicus Marine Service on behalf of the European Commission.
This conference will highlight the latest scientific and technical innovations for describing, understanding, and assessing the oceanic environment through cutting-edge ocean information products that integrate satellite observations.
Speaker: Fabrice Messal, in charge of the development of services at Mercator Ocean International and their adoption by users.
