The objective of the eighth Ocean Best Practices System Workshop (OBPS WSVIII) is to facilitate the cross-cutting primary role of best practices in operational oceanography by promoting dialogues across science and technology. In the era of Digital Twins for the Ocean, the need of best practices is fundamental for a more interoperable and reliable use of ocean data, for the evolution of the worldwide observing network from the deep ocean to the coast and for dealing with complex forecasting systems. The ultimate goal for satisfying this need is to provide standards and tools for developing new solutions for marine conservation, for predictions and monitoring, for a sustainable ocean environment, and a sustainable Blue Economy. The Agenda framework has Plenaries, scheduled on 14th and 18th October, and Workshop Sessions from 15 to 17 October. The first Workshop Plenary is devoted to the evolution of our Ocean knowledge and policy, and the second one addresses workshop recommendations and future perspectives. The workshop will be held online, including parallel sessions, keynotes and presentations, organised in two time zones. More information will be progressively shared through this webpage. We invite you to lead and organise a workshop session focused on standards and best practices used and being created in your own topic choice. If you are interested in proposing a session, please submit your proposal by the end of July if possible to workshops@oceanbestpractices.org. A Workshop Session Proposal template, for you to download, is available for your convenience. A session is typically 1.5h, but more than one session can be organised during the week and would involve presentations and time for discussion. In organising the session, you may decide how the time should be allocated as well as which date and time, between 15-17 October, is most appropriate for your participants. We will provide technology support.
