OBJECTIVES of the INFODAY
To provide attendees (new entrants in
particular) with background information
on the Copernicus Marine Environment
Monitoring Service (CMEMS) and
understand the scope of needs.
To provide taxonomy terms specific to
the CMEMS and facilitate the
understanding of any related documents.
To give a planning overview and a
contact list.
Next CMEMS Open Information Day :

marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European
regional marine areas, in support of marine safety,
contribution to monitoring of waste flows, monitoring of
marine environmental, coastal and polar regions, and of
marine resources as well as meteorological forecasting and
climate monitoring…”

Framework Service Elements (FSE)
FSE generates the knowledge required for designing service evolutions according to user needs and technological know-how. Two main components set up and regularly renewed through open calls
Service Evolution Framework:
• scientific investigations linked to the
assessment and evolution of the Marine Service
User Uptake Framework:
• Improvement of the interface between the
Marine Service and the user applications,
the definition of products and their
impact for users.
FSE activities are directly connected to the Service (e.g. system functionalities, product evolutions).
