EGO-GROOM has accomplished significant milestones, such as participation in international conferences and securing funding for crucial projects. With plans for a coordinated Atlantic Observing System and Mediterranean Observing System, EGO-GROOM aims to enhance global ocean observations. Legal issues and funding proposals are key considerations for future endeavors.

EGO – GROOM Some milestones for the future
EGO – GROOM Recent achievements • EGO-GROOM Participation to the 5th Session of the JCOMM Observations Coordination Group (OCG) in September 2013 EGO-GROOM recognized as a community of practice. Recommendation for a implementation plan • “A glider coordinator” (should be soon) funded for 2-4 years for the Atlantic (H2020 AtlantOS proposal) could be a way to test and further establish this function in the frame of JCOMMOPS (JCOMM in situ Observing Platform Support Centre) for EGO within the GOOS • GROOM participate to the 2nd International Conference on Research Infrastructures in April 2014 GROOM included in the discussion for the update of the 3rd ESFRI roadmap to be delivered in April 2015
EGO – GROOM European (USA-Canada) Milestones • H2020 BG8 proposal for a coordinated Atlantic Observing System (Europe-USA-Canada) to be soon submitted to the EC (to big to fail!) • H2020 INFRADEV4 proposal to be submitted in Sept. 2014. Common platform for ESFRI Environmental • Marine ESFRI: EuroARGO, EMSO, EMBRC + GROOM • A opportunity to get funded to continue GROOM work 'legal' issues • Will require a MoU for CNRS to represent the GROOM community • H2020 INFRAIA1 proposal to be submitted in Sept. 2014. JERICO-2 • to harmonise observation techniques in several European coastal and shelf seas, integrating key observing platforms (including biology) • Continuation of the glider activity in the ROOSes with a 'monitoring' perspective
EGO – GROOM Mediterranean Milestones • H2020 program for the 2016-2017 period could include a call for a coordinated Mediterranean Observing System (including South Med. and Middle East Countries)
EGO – GROOM Concluding remarks • Towards European Ocean Observation. Report of MRI expert group in Jan. 2013 • Towards an integrated. European Ocean Observing System (EOOS). Strating Agenda (PI K. Nittis, EuroGOOS secr.) Seminal OO'09 Glider community white paper (Testor et al.) • Since, EGO – GROOM havee been mainly 'call for proposal driven' • At the European level It will continue for the next year • Need for an updated Community White Paper ?
