About Pure Ocean Challenges 2024

Pure Ocean is an international endowment fund based in Marseille and Lorient. Its main mission is to mobilize civil society in order to support ambitious and innovative scientific projects for the protection of biodiversity and fragile marine ecosystems.

Through an international call for projects, and then an analysis carried out by the five eminent researchers who make up the scientific committee, Pure Ocean selects projects with a strong innovative dimension, whether technological, ecological or social.

Program Details

This year, special attention will be given to:

  • focusing on pressures on the Mediterranean Sea
  • targeting polar ecosystems
  • responding to the issues related to plastic pollution
  • proposing “nature-based solutions” through the protection of marine habitats (blue carbon, food security, etc.).

Projects that do not correspond to these descriptions but meet the eligibility criteria will of course, be accepted.

AMOUNT GRANTED

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 the Scientific Committee. A two-year project can therefore receive a maximum of 80,000 euros and support for certain projects can be renewed.
