The “IOC Project Office for IODE” was established in Oostende, Belgium on 25 April 2005, with substantial support from the Government of Flanders (Belgium) and Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ).
Objectives of the Project Office
The main objectives of the Project Office are:
- to establish a creative environment facilitating the further development and maintenance of IODE and partner data and information management projects, services and products with emphasis on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the data and product/service stream between the stage of sampling and the user; and
- to assist in strengthening the capacity of Member States to manage oceanographic data and information and to provide ocean data and information products and services required by users.
To achieve these objectives the IOC Project Office carries out the following activities:
- develop, strengthen and maintain IOC/IODE ocean data and information management training programmes and training tools;
- provide an environment (‘think tank’) where ocean data and information experts and students can work, meet and discuss;
- develop, host and maintain IOC/IODE’s ocean information systems and related public awareness tools;
- promote collaboration between all expert levels active in ocean data (and data product) and information management, including scientists, data managers, other IOC programmes and projects and other users;
- provide a laboratory environment for the development and beta testing of ocean data and information management technology.
