The OceanPrediction DCC Global Hybrid Event 2026 will bring together a dynamic global community working at the forefront of ocean forecasting, from regional teams and scientists to early career professionals, institutions, and partners. This is a unique opportunity to connect across regions, share advances, and shape the future of ocean prediction.In partnership with the ECOP Programme, together we will explore why ocean forecasting matters in different regional contexts and how it supports climate resilience, coastal safety, food security, ecosystem protection, and sustainable ocean governance. The event will showcase the current landscape of ocean forecasting, highlighting regional innovations, operational systems, and real-world applications.
The event’s program is being designed by the ECOPs at each Regional Team. This will result in innovative and participatory sessions, one per region, each of which will be different from the previous.
Participants will discover the role of OceanPrediction DCC in driving coordination, capacity development, and knowledge sharing through intergenerational dialogue, as well as how regional teams contribute to this global effort. The event will also provide pathways to join the community and access tools, resources, and products available through the OceanPrediction DCC platform.
