Partnerships

The Underwater Gliders User Group (UG2) and the European Glider Community (EGC) are regional community-led groups connecting glider operators, scientists, and stakeholders, promoting knowledge exchange and coordination across national and regional programmes. Glider manufacturers and technology developers are also active partners, contributing to platform innovation, sensor development, and the long-term operational sustainability of the network.

EGC

The European Glider Community connects glider operators across European national programmes, supporting knowledge exchange, training, and coordination. EGC also provides tools for tracking glider deployments worldwide.

UG2

A community-based coalition aimed at bolstering scientific collaboration, information, and resource sharing for gliders.

OceanOPS

OceanGliders coordinates with OceanOPS, the operational centre for GOOS observing networks, through the OceanGliders Technical Coordinator. OceanOPS maintains the global registry of glider deployments and provides real-time network monitoring.
