SCOOCS launches UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development

As the first international Ocean Decade Conference, offering simultaneous multi-language translation was one of the primary requirements. SCOOCS integrated RTMP livestream solution allowed the event hosts to offer a seamless localised experience into seven different languages.

The High-Level launch was only the beginning of a series of Ocean Decade laboratories that will take place from July 2021 to May 2022. Laboratories are innovative formats that function as self-sustaining events, acting as a creative platform to link diverse stakeholders on topics to trigger collaboration efforts in regard to the UN Ocean Decade. By providing a virtual space to connect scientists, policy-makers, journalists, and global leaders, SCOOCS provides the long-term platform for catalysing partnerships and co-designing the UN Ocean Decade actions.

With the goal of complementing the Ocean Decade’s Laboratories core events, satellite activities will also be independently hosted with the aim of showcasing endorsed Ocean Decade actions, creating opportunities for exchange, collaboration, and partnerships, as well as raising visibility and awareness of the Ocean Decade. By leveraging SCOOCS free Media Library, each satellite activity was offered a unique virtual promotion space with a detailed description, open Q&A channel, and a representative for 1-1 communication.
