Objective
To support efforts to increase the uptake of research in society through unconventional and effective communication of today's ocean science.
Eligibility
Funded projects may deliver specialized websites or social media campaigns, graphic visualizations, public materials, commercialization and incubator activities, policy summaries, and other innovative approaches for sharing scientific results and improving their significance for society. Preference will be given to ideas that spark the imagination, reaching intended audiences in creative and purposeful ways, including use of the arts to raise awareness about ocean science and climate change challenges.
