Brainstorming on the future road map for International Indian Ocean Expedition during 28 - 30 November, 2023

The Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) is a major global scientific program executed with the engagement of the international scientific community in collaborative oceanographic and atmospheric research focused on the Indian Ocean. With participation from numerous countries and scientific institutions, IIOE-2 strives to advance knowledge on climate change, marine ecosystems, ocean circulation, and biodiversity in the Indian Ocean, ultimately contributing to the sustainable management of this critical region and its resources. The program was initially formulated for a period of five years (2015-2020) and was subsequently extended for another five years till 2025.

During the past seven years, the IIOE-2 community has contributed significantly to the understanding of the Indian Ocean in terms of observational data, research and capacity development. the Early Career Scientists Network initiated under the IIOE-2 has been proving itself to be a focal component of the IIOE-2, by providing a platform for the younger generation of scientists to come together, exchange ideas and work together as well as with their senior colleagues under IIOE-2 framework. Considering the sustained and significant progress of IIOE-2 in catering to the growth of our knowledge of the Indian Ocean, it is felt that not only should IIOE-2 continue beyond its current tenure, but should also align itself with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

To discuss and deliberate upon the ways to sustain the IIOE-2 beyond 2025 and to achieve its overarching goals, the IIOE-2 Project Office at the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) hosted a brainstorming during 28-30 November, 2023 bringing together some of the distinguished researchers, leaders and policymakers across the globe active in such Indian Ocean-focused forums as the Indian Ocean Global Ocean Observing System (IOGOOS), Indian Ocean Region Panel of CLIVAR/IOC-GOOS (IORP), Indian Ocean Observing System Resources Forum of IOGOOS (IRF), Sustained Indian Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research of IMBeR/IOGOOS (SIBER), IOC Regional Committee for the Central Indian Ocean (IOCINDIO) and the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR).
