NOOS Strategy: Drafting NOOS Strategy 2020-2030. Three rounds, respectively lead by Marc Philippart (beta-version, deadline Feb 2020), Jacob-Woge Nielsen (alpha-version, end May 2020) and Sébastien Legrand (blue print, to be adopted at AM 2020)

The strategy should also consider the extension of NOOS activities to ecology/BGC. For instance, one could rely on PML and IMR to connect with relevant communities (ICES WGs, OSPARs WGs, etc.) and informed NOOS of the progress at the Annual Meeting (kind of ambassadors) (action 2018.23)

Status Nov 2020 : Marc Philippart and Jacob Nielsen have produced their documents. Sebastien will synthesize their respective inputs into a light strategic document, taking into account the new EuroGOOS strategy.
