The agenda will include break-out sessions dedicated to the following topics:

There will be an opportunity for endorsed projects to introduce themselves and/or provide brief updates, as well as invited presentations from other relevant projects/programmes across the Ocean Decade. However, we encourage projects to take part in the upcoming webinar series prior to the Annual Meeting, which will give more time to share progress with the OBON network.
