The conference “New Trends in Multidisciplinary Ocean Observation” will take place on 26 November 2026 at the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, Portugal, bringing together marine scientists and experts to discuss emerging technologies and methodologies for ocean observation, with a particular focus on the Atlantic.

Jointly organised by the Portuguese Ocean Decade Committee and the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, in partnership with the AIR Centre, the conference will explore a broad range of approaches to multidisciplinary ocean observation, from cost-effective sensors, autonomous biosampling and next-generation BGC-Argo floats to satellite remote sensing, underwater acoustics, autonomous marine robotics and SMART Cables.

The programme will feature presentations from national and international experts, highlighting scientific advances, technological developments and operational infrastructures supporting ocean observation. Discussions will address topics including environmental DNA monitoring, biogeochemical observations, satellite-based ocean monitoring, autonomous underwater vehicles, deep-sea biodiversity monitoring and long-term ocean observation infrastructures in Portugal and across the Atlantic.
