The International Oceanographic Data Exchange (IODE) of IOC-UNESCO - together with regional partners across the globe - has developed an inclusive Ocean Data and Information System (ODIS) to allow digital stakeholders to reliably share and discover key ocean data. ODIS is built by its participants: anyone with data to share can become a node in the ODIS network. During this course, participants will be trained in how to link their systems into ODIS and to make them a more visible and actionable part of the ocean’s digital ecosystem.
The course will take place online between 17 and 21 April 2023 or 14-28 April 2023, with an estimated duration/workload of 5 hours. The course will consist mainly of asynchronous work ( including reading assignments, watching tutorials and completing an assessment)

Upon registration you choose in which language you want to follow the course. English (17-21 April 2023) or Spanish/French/Portuguese (24-28 April 2023).
