ESA Advance Ocean Training Course route

A new wave of ocean scientists has embarked on an extraordinary six-week voyage aboard a majestic tall ship that set sail today from Norway bound for southern France. But this is no ordinary journey. Thanks to this ESA Advanced Ocean Training Course, these upcoming researchers will be taking a deep dive into ocean science, empowering them with skills to harness satellite data for research, innovation and sustainable development – and preparing them to become tomorrow’s leaders and ambassadors for ocean science.

The ESA course is part of the year-long One Ocean Expedition – a scientific and educational voyage around the Northern Hemisphere oceans, with the overarching goal of drawing attention to and sharing knowledge about the ocean’s crucial role for a sustainable future in a global perspective. It is an important and timely contribution to the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
