Pure Ocean is an endowment fund created in 2017 in Marseille, France.
Its main mission is to support innovative applied research projects worldwide, contributing to the protection of fragile marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
In addition to funding research projects, Pure Ocean organizes conferences and promotes races and sporting challenges to raise awareness of the Ocean’s critical situation.
ELIGIBILITY:
This year, a special attention will be given to projects:
Developing marine conservation initiatives managed by local communities and indigenous peoples
Exploring nature-based solutions for the preservation of blue carbon ecosystems
Operating in key oceanic areas : the French littoral, Middle East/Asia and Africa coast
The project must address one or more Pure Ocean Challenges.
We seek out and support projects in all regions of the world.
There is no age limit, but candidates in the early stages of their career are particularly encouraged to apply.
Only non-profit organizations (NGOs, universities, and research institutes) can apply and receive funding.The project can however include a collaboration with organizations from the private sector (companies, startups, etc.).
Applicants must clearly outline their co-financing opportunities in their budget, as well as a minimum operating budget in the event that Pure Ocean is unable to grant the full amount requested.
BENEFIT:
Selected projects will receive up to €40,000/year (average €25,000/year), for a duration of one to two years, at the discretion of our
Scientific Committee.
A two-year project can therefore receive a maximum of €80,000 and support for certain projects can be renewed.
