On 1 October 2026, the OceanICU project launched a Youth Competition to enable young people to learn about the scientific research carried out in the project. The competition invites young people (age 14-30 years old) to understand the work done by members of the project team and to explain one aspect of the work they have found interesting in a science outreach material (e.g. a poster, an infographic or a short video or podcast) that:

  • highlights what they have learned and why they think it is important;
  • could be shared with other young people and the general public.

Please spread the word.

The deadline for application is 17 February 2027 at 18:00 CET

Two online meetings will be organised during which applicants will be able to learn more about the OceanICU project and ask questions: 4 November 2026 and 13 January 2027. Laureates’ work will be featured at the European Ocean Carbon Summit which will take place in Brussels (Belgium) on 26 May 2027.
