SAVE THE DATE: FRIDAY 7 DECEMBER 2018 Launch of the Compendium for Coast and Sea (2018) & VLIZ Scientific Guidance Committee

On 7 December 2018, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) will present the third edition of the Compendium for Coast and Sea at the Grote Post in Ostend (9:30 AM – 12:30 PM). The launch event will be framed in the relevance of marine research in Flanders and Belgium and its valorisation in innovative applications or sustainable marine policy. The evolution of marine research in the last 10 years and future needs will also be discussed.

After lunch, the annual Scientific Guidance Committee of VLIZ is subsequently organized which is open to a wide group of marine scientists. During this meeting an overview is presented of the major current and future projects of VLIZ. We will also zoom in on the Flemish contribution to the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science where the public will be invited to interact.

Both the launch of the Compendium for Coast and Sea and the Scientific Guidance Committee of VLIZ will be in Dutch. Details about the programme will follow later.
