Discover the content of the session: "France India Workshop on Ocean Technology towards advanced Knowledge and sustainable Development"
A session gathering scientists and engineers from France and India to discuss avenues for cooperation in marine science and technologies, echoing the bilateral roadmap on the blue economy and ocean governance which has been established in the wake of the French government’s Indopacific strategy and the government of India’s Deep Ocean Mission program.
Topics: Underwater Vehicles and Marine Instrumentation (including sensors, instruments/tools, systems for ocean exploration); Ocean Observation Platforms and Data Acquisition (focus on deep-sea extreme environments); Technologies for Coastal Zone Management; Blue Economy; Deep-sea Ecosystems.
