Jointly organised by IOC-UNESCO, the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific, the Government of Flanders and the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in the cities of Ostend and Brussels (Belgium), the SPINCAM week in Flanders included three key events of which two were hosted by the IODE Project Office in Oostende: Ostend, 16-17 February 2016: SPINCAM and OceanTeacher workshop on ocean governance and sustainable ocean based economy; Ostend, 18 February 2016: Interaction between SPINCAM and the Flemish research community.
Funded by the Government of Flanders, the SPINCAM project was first approved in 2008 and is currently concluding its second phase. It has been developed since 2009 under the coordination of IOC-UNESCO, through its Marine Policy and Regional Coordination Section with valuable contributions on data and information from the IOC Project Office IODE, and at regional level by the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific.
