EurOcean

The MOIRAI Project kicks off today in Athens, Greece, with the presence of Project Officer Nicolas Segebarth, Policy Officer at the European Commission. With 15 partners from 6 countries, #MOIRAI will develop next-generation climate models supporting #CopernicusMarine Service & #DTO.

The call for the 2025 – 2026 #EMBracingtheOcean #artistinresidence programme is open! The European Marine Board is looking for two new artists/groups of artists for the 2025 – 2026 edition of our ‘EMBracing the Ocean’ artist-in-residence programme. As we enter the fifth year of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the need to connect people to our Ocean is more important than ever. The EMBracing the Ocean programme provides grants for creative individuals/groups from a wide-range of disciplines to engage in a two-way co-creation of artwork in collaboration with #Ocean scientists. The aims of the programme are to 1) raise societal awareness of and embrace connection to the Ocean, 2) inspire positive behaviour towards sustainability, and 3) contribute new insight and/or perspectives to science 🎨 Find out how to apply here: https://lnkd.in/ePQfetND #OceanDecadeEurope #artscience #artistresidency #sustainability #artistopportunities #artandculture #opencallforartists

📢 Apply for Access to research infrastructure: https://lnkd.in/eQnWxaa7 *️⃣ Today’s FAQ: According to the criteria, equipment costs, sample analysis costs and other costs are not included, does this mean that we would need to ask for matched funding from our institutions/universities? Answer 🗣️ 🔷 AQUARIUS funds access to research infrastructure for research scientists working in marine and freshwater domains from academia, industry, public bodies and civil society organisations; 🔷 AQUARIUS cannot fund the research, sample or data analysis that takes place after the use of the research infrastructure; 🔷 AQUARIUS research infrastructure catalogue includes experimental facilities, e.g., laboratories and data services that can support analysis;  🔷 AQUARIUS provides support and training to use the infrastructure and make your data openly available; 🔷 If applicants want to bring their own equipment, AQUARIUS can support shipping it to and from the infrastructure that it’s being used from 📌 In a nutshell:  Applicants do not need to “match” funding from institutions/universities but they do need to be able to fund their time, post-access analysis and write-up. 🔔 Featured RI: Unmanned Surface Vehicle Adhemar operated by VLIZ - Flanders Marine Institute  Get all relevant information about this research infrastructure here: https://lnkd.in/ebRnmFCx 📅 Apply to our call before the 20th of January 2025 and get access to the top research infrastructures in Europe to take your research to the next level! https://lnkd.in/eQnWxaa7 #Funding #Apply #EUGreenDeal #Research #HorizonEU #EUMissionOcean Marine Institute  Finnish Meteorological Institute  CSIC  Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR)  Institute of Marine Research (IMR), Norway  Grønlands Naturinstitut  Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon  Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research  National Institute for Marine Research and Development "Grigore Antipa"  Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) - Suomen ympäristökeskus (Syke)  CzechGlobe  The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA))  Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences    EMBRC - European Marine Biological Resource Centre  EMBRC France  Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR)  CIIMAR  Mercator Ocean International  EMBL  SMHI  Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia  Instituto Hidrográfico - Marinha Portuguesa  Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN)  VITO Remote Sensing  EMSO ERIC  GeoEcoMar  INTERACT  INKODE soc. coop.  OGS  Hafrannsóknastofnun - Marine & Freshwater Research Institute  Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya  NWO-I  SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

⚡ ANNOUNCEMENT ⚡ 📣 New #training course coming up in January❗ 'Seafloor Exploration and Characterisation for Infrastructure, Heritage, and Marine Planning' ✨ Join us at this two-day course, co-organised by the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) & the Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute (CMMI). The course is open to both specialists and non-specialists interested in the #sustainable #management of #ocean resources and #ecosystems. 📅 Date: 21–22 January 2025 📍 Venue: Multi-functional Centre for Social Activities and Welfare of Larnaka Municipality 💡 This interdisciplinary course addresses the critical need for accurate #seafloor data to support offshore #infrastructure projects, protect underwater #heritage, and guide sustainable #marine spatial planning. 💡 Key topics will include #geology, #geophysics, marine robotics, geotechnical engineering, and maritime archaeology. Course activities consist of informal #lectures, hands-on exercises, and virtual reality applications that bring real offshore #data and interactive #seafloor mapping directly to participants. 💡 Participants will have the opportunity to gain valuable skills in analysis techniques and interact closely with experts from #SMMI and #CMMI. At the end of the course, attendees will receive a CPD completion certificate❗ ⏳ Book now! ⚡Limited Seats Available ⚡ 📩 For bookings, fees and further information, hit the link 👉 https://lnkd.in/eT2z-UUV or contact: info@cmmi.blue #Geosciences #MarineRobotics #GeotechnicalEnginneering #MaritimeArchaeology #SeafloorExploration #MarinePlanning #OceanResources #SeafloorMapping #OceanScience #HorizonEU #EUInnovation #CPDCertification Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute
