<br>
<br>
The International Indian Ocean Science Conference 2020 (IIOSC-2020) sponsored by Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Govt. of India, will be held during 16-20 March, 2020 at Goa India co-hosted by National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) Goa, National Centre
for Polar Ocean Research (NCPOR) Goa, Goa University and Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) Hyderabad, India. The conference aims at assessing the progress and scientific knowledge gained during the last 4 years of IIOE-2 (during
2016-2020). It is also an opportunity for scientists working on different facets of the Indian Ocean to present their ideas and discuss the outstanding issues, identify the knowledge gaps and plan a way forward to address such issues.<br>
<br>
Scientists and colleagues who are interested in the Indian Ocean may kindly take note of this and freeze their dates for the conference.<br>
<br>
Please find attached First Announcement of IIOSC-2020.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
