The Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO) was founded in 1999 by directors of oceanographic institutions around the world as a forum to promote and advance the observation of the global ocean. POGO is a UK-registered charity with member institutions from around the world, and works closely with other international and regional programmes and organisations.
POGO seeks to expand international support for ocean observing, through innovation of the ocean observing system, capacity development and outreach/advocacy.
POGO Members’ Annual General Meeting (28 Feb, POGO members only)
Please Note:
The format of the next POGO Annual Meeting will be slightly different to previous years, following discussions among the POGO members and Board regarding meeting attendance and effectiveness, in particular in response to POGO’s recent external review.
POGO-26 will therefore be more open than previous meetings, welcoming additional delegates from partner and non-member institutions, as well as scientists at different levels within POGO member institutions (i.e., not only the Director).
As POGO meetings are currently fully funded by the host institute and do not charge a registration fee, we will need to cap the number of delegates at around 100, with 60 of these spaces reserved initially for representatives of POGO member institutions.
The registration process will consist of the following:
a pre-registration, with a closing date of 8 Dec 2024
a selection process (if required) and notification by the Secretariat of pre-registration approval (no later than 20 December)
a registration confirmation, with a closing date of 31 January 2025
When available, the sidebar will be used to share useful documents, including the latest Draft Agenda, and information about accommodation options.
