The OCO conference 2008 will focus on two main themes:

  • the presentation of Research and Development results obtained in the development of information systems, numerical models, in situ measurement systems, new functionalities and diffusion tools;
  • the description of products and services existing on marine development, the expression of needs as well as questions related to economics and organisation
