Join the Ocean Decade

Everyone can take part in the Decade of Ocean Science. You can apply for calls to research new knowledge or use new solutions, apply for approval of various activities, participate in networks and events. You can also participate by increasing your knowledge about the ocean and using solutions that ensure that we get the ocean we want.

Calls for proposals from the International Decade of Ocean Science

Internationally, calls for proposals are advertised twice a year, firstly in the spring around 15 April with the application deadline at the end of August and secondly in the autumn around 15 October with the application deadline at the end of January. You can apply for approval of programmes and projects as part of the Decade of Ocean Research. In addition, you can apply for approval of activities and contributions at any time.

  1. Programmes are large, multi-year and multinational initiatives that will include projects, activities and contributions. Programmes will be implemented at the global or regional (sea area, for example) level. A program will, typically, be interdisciplinary.
  2. Projects have a shorter duration and will typically target a more specific field of research and will often, but not always, be part of the programmes that have been "approved".
  3. Activities are various individual initiatives such as workshops, conferences, communication campaigns, reports, teaching programs and other things. They can also be part of a program or be individual events.
  4. Contributions are in-kind or financial resources to carry out "Decade actions" or support the coordination of the Decade.

When you apply for the Decade of Marine Research Decade's calls, you apply for approval, you do not apply for money.
