Ocean Training Partnership – new website

Dear All,

We wanted to inform you that the new Ocean Training Partnership (OTP) website is now ‘live’ atwww.oceantrainingpartnership.org.

The OTP is  an international alliance of marine science organisations that coordinates shipboard training experiences.  The current partners are now inviting institutions with spare capacity on research vessels , or Principal Investigators with spare berths on a planned research cruise, to get involved with this capacity-building project.

 

Using funding from the Nippon Foundation, this initiative, which is led by POGO in collaboration with the Strategic Marine Alliance for Research and Training (SMART) and the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), will provide grants to support training cruises, and fellowships for early-career scientists is developing countries.

In addition to the new website, we are spreading the word via the OTP twitter account (@ocean_training), and the POGO social media channels, and hope that you will help us to reach to wider Ocean Capacity Building community by re-sharing where appropriate.

 

Sincerely,

Fiona Beckman

POGO Communications officer
