JPI Oceans is instrumental in maximising the impact of the OKEANO CSA and supporting AAORIA, leading the project’s communication, dissemination, and exploitation efforts. JPI Oceans also plays a pivotal role in leading tasks related to Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs) capacity building. On R&I coordination support, JPI Oceans leads efforts to pave the way towards establishing a joint call for research and innovation proposals among Atlantic Ocean countries to facilitate concrete opportunities for scientific collaboration under the AAORIA Declaration, leveraging national and potentially EU funding.

Brazil will host the 2026 All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA) Forum in the vibrant coastal city of Salvador, Bahia, on 15–16 April 2026. The Forum is the Alliance’s flagship annual gathering, bringing together the Atlantic Community. The Forum aims to showcase AAORIA’s scientific coordination in addressing ocean challenges.

Building on the success of the previous Forums, the 2026 gathering will advance the All-Atlantic Declaration through ocean science international cooperation, and collaborative action.

It is hosted by the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) and SENAI CIMATEC, where the event will take place. It is also supported by the OKEANO Coordination and Support Action (CSA).
