2021

WHOI's "Vision 2030: Ocean Science for the Global Good" includes an Innovation Accelerator to invest in our staff and facilities, with Places (both physical and virtual) to focus on innovation infrastructure. New investment is sought to establish a "collaboratory" for big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

WHOI's Ocean Informatics Working Group hosted a virtual meeting for WHOI staff and students in May 2021 to initiate discussion of this collaboratory.
