GOV goals

• to continuously improve operational

oceanography for societal benefit

• to facilitate collaboration among the scientific

community working in this research domain

• to measure progress by annual reporting on:

Centres

Review of the GOV Strategy

GOVST-VII meeting, The Holiday Inn, Kochi, 7-11 November 2016

GOV STRATEGIC PLAN:

• The GOV Strategic Plan provides a high-level view (5-10

year horizon) defining:

• expected investments and outcomes of GOV

• “returns on investment” as reflected in robust metrics

• Efforts and actions to achieve the strategic goals are

expected: • to be more effective if done on a collective basis

• will impact major practical applications

• to intersect community scientific interest and Patrons’ expectations

or requirements

• to be aligned with Patrons’ core interests and priorities

Future Requirements of GOV

Survey

GOVST-VII meeting, The Holiday Inn, Kochi, 7-11 November 2016

We need to plan for the next large GOV events

Costly and highly time consuming effort

How do we want to organise ourselves?

Discuss:

next GOV Symposium (2018/2019?)

next GOV Review: internal (Patrons) vs external

Game Plan for Getting There

• GOV coordination / programme office

– PO responsibility and requirements

– What can and should be improved?

Future Requirements of GOV

- Use this week to find answers to these questions - Engage in discussions and exchanges - Put forward ideas and visions
