Our Training Initiatives
The OCEAN Institute offers a range of programs designed to benefit master’s and doctoral students in the field: an annual summer school with theoretical and practical sessions; the organization of networking events bringing together academics, students, and partners (e.g., Ocean Day 2023, which brought together 150 professionals and students); and thesis and master’s scholarships. We also support the development of new interdisciplinary degree programs that incorporate a scientific approach (DESU, EU). At the international level, we are developing close collaborations with the CIVIS Alliance (European Civic University). We welcome students from more than 10 different countries and participants from 7 different countries to our international summer school. Finally, we are also expanding our cooperation with leading oceanography universities (e.g., the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution).

Testimonials
The institute enabled me to prepare for a thesis by asking for deliverables throughout my internship (abstract, poster, summary slides). I was also invited to various events that enabled me to meet other foreign researchers specializing in marine social sciences.
