A federated, FAIR and open European research ecosystem dedicated to the oceans, seas, coastal areas and inland waters.
Blue-Cloud2026 objectives
Blue-Cloud 2026 builds on the Blue-Cloud pilot project, which established a pilot cyberplatform enabling researchers to access multidisciplinary datasets derived from observations, analytical services and computing infrastructures essential to blue science.
Blue-Cloud 2026 aims to evolve its pilot ecosystem into a federated European ecosystem in order to provide FAIR and open data, as well as analytical services, which are essential for advancing research on the oceans, the EU’s seas, coastal waters and inland waters.
It is developing a thematic marine extension of the EOSC for web-based open science, and addresses the needs of the EU’s agendas on the blue economy, the marine environment and marine knowledge.
POKaPOK’s involvement (2023-2026)
POKaPOK was involved in WP3: Development and testing of Blue Cloud analytical platforms for the production of high-quality data series (essential ocean variables, EOVs). The team was particularly active in tasks 3.2 and 3.3, which aimed to build an EOV tool, known as a workbench, for physics (T&S) as well as for eutrophication (chlorophyll, nutrients, oxygen).
