The 2023 EuroMarine Calls for Funding will be published soon.

EuroMarine’s 2023 terms for funding were outlined by the Steering Committee (SC) during their 2023 meeting in February. The terms are summarised below in advance of the public launch of the calls throughout the year. Scientists in the EuroMarine network can now begin preparing applications and/or liaising with potential EuroMarine partners.

To check the current membership status of your organisation or that of a possible foresight workshop co-proposer, please refer to the 2023 membership list. Please note that this list is provisional – please contact your organisation’s EuroMarine General Assembly representative for confirmation. Links to the membership list and to the list of General Assembly representatives are provided at the bottom of this page. You can also contact director@euromarinenetwork.eu with any queries.

In 2023, several calls will be organised by both EuroMarine and the Early Career Researcher Working Group, OYSTER (Orienting Young ScienTists of EuromaRine), funded by EuroMarine.

Updated information on these calls and opportunities will regularly be published on the opportunities section of the EuroMarine website. EuroMarine encourages prospective applicants to subscribe to our newsletter for the latest information on open calls, how to apply, and for other opportunities with EuroMarine.
