Sustainability of the service beyond MyOcean2
is one of the strongest requirements of the users.

Strenghten the operational core

current operators of the MyOcean2

Member States services

by EuroGOOS and the marine community
ECOMF, a two-fold strategy defined
in MyOcean2 with EuroGOOS
Securing the operational
production & service chain
ECOMF – European Centre for Ocean Monitoring and
Forecasting
• A sustained service needs a sustainable service operator: the new legal entity EEIG « ECOMF » is created to be this operator
• European operational oceanography needs its European Centre: ECOMF is created to be this focal point serving the marine community’s ambition
• MyOcean and MyOcean2 have set up a valuable organization, identified its core components, and its key partnerships: ECOMF is based on this successful experience, and aims at reinforcing this organization

Timeframe
• The FP7 MyOcean2 project ends at the end of September 2014
• With Copernicus, EC has now a very good chance to have the administrative & funding framework ready for 2014.
• Beneficiaries of the following phase are not yet decided by EC.
• Our goal is to propose ECOMF and have it ready to take over the post-MyOcean2 phase and ensure full service continuity.
2011, kick-off
2012, design

Conclusion
The EEIG ECOMF is a new legal entity prepared by the 14 main operators of the MyOcean2 service to take over and strengthen the production & service organization in the operational phase of Copernicus.
ECOMF will be proposed to EC.
ECOMF is one component of a two-fold strategy defined with EuroGOOS, aiming at reinforcing partnerships for a sustained operational oceanography.
