PurposeThe EuroGOOS conference is a well established event taking place every three years, and this fifth conference follows in the footsteps of the earlier successful conferences held in The Hague (1996), Rome (1999), Athens (2002) and Brest (2005). 2008 promises to be an important year for operational oceanography, with the FP6 projects in their mid-term, the start of FP7 and actions to establish the GMES Marine Core Service. The community must respond to the need for environmental information to support the EU Maritime Policy and implementation of the Marine Strategy Directive. The EuroGOOS Conference will provide a timely opportunity to review progress, and to present and discuss plans for the future, covering all aspects of operational oceanography. Topics of interestThe outline programme for the conference is still being prepared, but after a plenary opening session there can be up to four sessions in parallel, from Tuesday afternoon, through to Thursday morning. A final plenary session will close the conference. Five core themes are suggested for the parallel sessions: please indicate, when submitting your abstract, in which session you wish to speak. The suggested themes are as follows.
