The VLIZ Marine Science Day (VMSD) aims to bring together marine and coastal scientists from Flanders and its neighboring regions. Started as an event for young scientists in 2001, due to its success, it welcomes a wider audience since 2017. Offering the opportunity to companies in the marine and coastal sector to present job offers, projects and get a closer look at relevant ongoing research. The next upcoming editions (2024 to 2026) will feature keynotes, pre-doc presentations and poster session focusing on the nexus between climate, ocean and biodiversity, taking into account the urgent and critical challenges facing the ocean and coastal waters today. Interactive sessions will also be at the core of the programme, besides the ceremony of our annual awards: North Sea Award, Professional Bachelor Thesis Award and Master Thesis Award. Finally, two prizes will be awarded to speakers and poster presentations, which will also be judged by the audience on site. To promote and highlight innovative scientific findings and their ability to communicate them effectively to a multidisciplinary scientific audience.
