We are pleased to inform you that GOA-ON's Ocean Acidification Week, a virtual multi-day forum to highlight ocean acidification research for sustainability initiatives around the world, will be held from 30 October to 03 November 2023. OA Week 2023 will highlight the latest research in ocean acidification as well as sessions on the UN Ocean Decade programme OARS - Ocean Acidification Research for Sustainability, the early career network ICONEC, the GOA-ON Regional Hubs, and much more. Session organization is currently underway and the detailed agenda will be announced closer to the date. For more information, please visit the OA Week 2023 website.

OA Week debuted in 2020, and returned in 2021, when events and conferences were postponed due to COVID-19. Following the successful in-person Symposium on the Ocean in a High CO₂ World in 2022, GOA-ON is bringing back OA Week 2023 to maintain momentum around OA research and provide a virtual platform for the ocean acidification community to exchange their latest findings. This virtual symposium will bring together researchers across the world with sessions, plenary speakers, and engaging talks about ocean acidification research.

The key goals of OA Week are:

1. Engage the OA and broader oceanographic communities, raise awareness to the issue of OA, and bring attention to the global OA monitoring, research, capacity building, and education efforts
2. Share GOA-ON's three high-level goals
3. Raise awareness and create community around OA research to support the UN Ocean Decade Endorsed Programme OARS in its implementation phase
4. Engage early career ocean professionals through ICONEC
