Results: Three proposals for the organisation of EUR-OCEANS conferences were selected during the Council meeting of 22 January 2009 in Brussels:

• Integration of Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems: Comparison across Regional Programs
• Dynamics and role of mesoscale and/or sub-mesoscale activity in ocean productivity in a global change context
