The 8th OGSE, which uses the OGS-EMP as a guiding framework, is planned for the Philippines in November 2026 and the 9th in Peru in May 2027(TBC). OGSN will continue to release a bi-monthly newsletter, and the 10th OGSN Forum is planned for June 2027. Meanwhile, the OGSS will also publish studies/reports on the identified possible research themes.
