EMODnet's 1st Open Sea Lab Bootcamp will take place in De Serre, Antwerp. Open Sea Lab will begin on Wednesday 15 November and run until Friday 17 November, culminating in a prize giving and evening reception. Inspirational speakers will open the event and optional, expert-led, come-and-go workshops will take place throughout the three days. We expect about 22 teams of around 5 people to participate in the Open Sea Lab. Teams will be offered coaching, and technical experts will be on hand to provide support throughout the event.
The Closing Session with Award Ceremony is open for those who are interested to hear about the results but not participating in the competition itself. If you want to attend, you need to register using the award ceremony registration form.
