Join the ECOP Programme Registry for One Ocean Science Congress (3-6 June) and UN Ocean Conference (9-13 June) in Nice, France
The ECOP Programme team are excited to be in Nice, France, for the One Ocean Science Congress (3-6 June) and UN Ocean Conference (9-13 June). We are looking forward to engaging extensively across the range of activities that will be happening.

We are organizing a townhall at the One Ocean Science Congress (OOSC) called "Capacity Development in the UN Ocean Decade ECOP Programme: successes, challenges, and ways forward" (date to be confirmed) and discussing possibilities for several other events during UNOC with our partners. Stay tuned for updates!

If you think you will be in Nice in June to attend one or both of these events: 
One Ocean Science Congress (3-6 June) https://one-ocean-science-2025.org or UN Ocean Conference (9-13 June) https://sdgs.un.org/conferences/ocean2025, we invite you to share some information with us.

This will help us:
a) recommend you to our partners to be part of townhalls or UNOC side events as speakers or panellists;

b) gain an overview and keep a record of ECOPs' attendance and participation at these events, so that we can compile an impact report afterwards; similar to what we did for the Ocean Decade Conference 2024;

c) communicate via email or WhatsApp to enhance networking among ECOPs at those events, exchange useful tips for attendance, and coordinate get-togethers during OOSC and/or UNOC - all to ensure that you get the best experience during those events.

Please fill out the following form so that we can be in touch and we look forward to meeting you in Nice!
