Conference venue: Milan (Italy), University of Milano-Bicocca, 6-7 June 2023
Post-conference: Venice (Italy), 8-9 June 2023 (in collaboration with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, CNR-ISMAR and Ocean Space/TBA21-Academy)
As a contribution to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), we propose to organise a thematic conference of the IGU, focusing the ocean and seas as complex and relational geographical ‘objects’ through a plurality of foci. For centuries, the ocean and seas have
been means for connecting people and at the same time separating them, corresponding to different functions through different times and cultures.
