We are thrilled to announce the 2025 CPR Workshop, a dynamic in-person 3-day event bringing together both newcomers and experienced users of CPR data. The CPR program uses a towed device to collect plankton samples on silk filters from ships of opportunity across the North Atlantic, Pacific, and other global waters, providing long-term high-taxonomic-resolution datasets on plankton abundances and ecosystem changes. This workshop is a research+training component of the NSF-supported CPR-BEAMS project, and will provide a unique opportunity to build skills, foster collaboration, and share findings and ideas about the innovative use of CPR data. This workshop is co-sponsored by NOAA Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region (CINAR).

When: November 4-6, 2025

Where: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (Woods Hole, MA)

What to Expect:

• A forum for discussing ideas, sharing findings and exploring approaches using CPR data.
• A hands-on training component to equip participants with skills in working with CPR data.
• Engaging discussions & collaboration opportunities with a diverse community of researchers.
• Support for early-career researchers and individuals to ensure broad participation in advancing CPR data science.
