Annual Meeting 2026

Join us at the brand new Astra building of Åbo Akademi to discuss the latest developments at the Centre for Sustainable Ocean Science!

Under the overarching theme of interdisciplinary marine research, we will share results from the various SOS workpackages and case studies. We also invite stakeholders to offer their input as we cross the halfway mark of our five-year research plan.

The event is free or charge, but for catering and communication purposes we ask you to register in advance.

Registration will open on this webpage later this spring.

All sessions and meals take place in the Astra building (Porthaninkatu 3, Turku).
Note that the presentations and keynotes will be livestreamed, but the workshops are in-person only.
