The “Ocean Challenge” will be modelled as a two-stage global competition.

  1. In the first phase, teams will present their ideas in a written report and a video. A panel of experts from Academia and Industry, including the OES Technical Committees, will evaluate the proposals and select 5 teams for the second phase.
  2. The seed funding will be used to implement the proposed solution.

Representatives of the winning team will then be invited to present their solution to the OCEANS 2025 Brest conference!
