Research & Training, and Communication. EUR-OCEANS is a European Union funded Network of Excellence which brings together European scientists to share knowledge, best practice, equipment and research.

The goal of EUR-OCEANS is to develop models which will enable prediction and assessment of the impact of climate change on marine systems and fisheries. Intrinsic to the network is a public outreach programmewhich is being operated by The Association for the Promotion of EUR-OCEANS.

Over the next two years the Association will develop a programme of films, educational materials, exhibitions and conferences that will highlight the science of the EUR-OCEANS network. Over the coming months the National Marine Aquarium will participate in the next stages of the project, involved in the production of a series of films covering the oceans of Europe and providing learning materials for the education sector. A EUR-OCEANS website will be opened later in the autumn.
