Unfolding Our Shared Future” is held jointly in partnership with the US Embassy in London and the American Politics Group. This event will focus on addressing issues facing the US and UK in domestic, trans-Atlantic and global contexts, in relation to the ocean.
The format of the event will be a “fireside chat” chaired by Professor Penny Holliday, Chief Scientific Officer at the National Oceanography Centre. Joining Professor Holliday is Professor Jon Copley, Professor of Ocean Exploration and Science Communication at the University of Southampton and Dr Steve Thur from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States discussing how partnerships in ocean health and ocean science can support the future of our oceans. Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to the discussion and ask questions. There will also be an opportunity to network prior and post-event.
In addition to US Embassy and American Politics Group representatives, we will also be inviting local elected representatives, civil servants from FCDO and Defra and a number of scientists and policy specialists from both NOC and the University of Southampton. The event will also be open to limited number of attendees from the general public.
