Euro-Argo ONE

The Euro-Argo ONE project aims to align Euro-Argo ERIC with the OneArgo objectives, advancing global ocean observation and climate research to unprecedented levels. Launched a decade after the creation of the Euro-Argo ERIC, this project marks a pivotal moment in the consortium's evolution, as it embraces the transformative OneArgo vision at a time when unified, global ocean observation is more crucial than ever.

The Euro-Argo ONE project, supported by 23 partners, seeks to strengthen the European capability, sustainability, and resilience required to fulfill its vital role in implementing the global OneArgo array. By addressing key scientific, technical, and environmental challenges, Euro-Argo ONE will not only bolster the Euro-Argo ERIC but also enhance its ability to deliver actionable ocean data and services.

Key objectives of the Euro-Argo ONE project:

• Tailoring European implementation of OneArgo. Designing a comprehensive and scalable plan to support OneArgo’s global objectives within Europe.
• Optimising OneArgo data and services delivery. Increasing the efficiency of Euro-Argo ERIC in providing high-quality OneArgo data and products.
• Addressing environmental challenges of OneArgo. Tackling operational challenges in collaboration with the supplier industry to ensure sustainability and resilience.
• Enhancing OneArgo products and services. Improving data accessibility and services efficiency for operational stakeholders and the broader scientific community.
• Strengthening leadership and collaboration. Consolidating Euro-Argo ERIC’s position in international and European ocean observation networks.
• Demonstrating societal value of OneArgo. Showcasing the critical role of OneArgo in addressing societal challenges, from climate adaptation to marine ecosystem health.

The Euro-Argo ONE project will accelerate Euro-Argo ERIC’s consolidation as a keystone of the ENVRI cluster of European environmental Research Infrastructures, ensuring a sustainable, long-term European contribution to the OneArgo programme. This effort will advance understanding of the ocean’s complexities, refine climate models, and strengthen Europe’s ability to confront pressing environmental challenges.
