Under its Cooperative Agreement with the National Science Foundation to manage the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), the Consortium for Ocean Leadership will convene or co-sponsor workshops that address or promote topics germane to the science questions, infrastructure, and technology development of the OOI. Examples of science themes and information on the locations and types of observatory infrastructure may be found in the OOI Science Plan and the Preliminary Network Design.

Workshop topics or high priority areas are identified by Ocean Leadership in consultation with its advisory bodies and the National Science Foundation, or, can be proposed by the community. Ocean Leadership continually invites proposals for workshops that cover the following general areas:

    1.  Community development of methods to address high priority science questions using the OOI facilities (e.g.,         collaborative experiments, deployment methods, modeling techniques).

    2.  Advancement of ocean observing related technology (e.g., sensor development, cutting edge or high-risk technology).

    3.  Building community involvement and alignment among the multiple science disciplines enabled by the OOI.
