ASSEMBLE Plus integrates over 30 marine biological stations and installations from various regions of the world's oceans and seas; providing scientists from academia, industry and policy with the services of these marine stations. Prospective users can apply for funding to use these ASSEMBLE Plus facilities to carry out Transnational Access research projects.

The EU Research Infrastructure project AQUACOSM has opened their 3rd Call for Transnational Access to fund participation or leadership of mesocosm experiments in 2020. This opportunity provides access to more than 33 aquatic mesocosm facilities, located at 15 AQUACOSM partners throughout Europe. AQUACOSM offers more than 3800 person days of Transnational Access in 2020.

CESAB and sDiv are instruments of the French FRB (Foundation for Research on Biodiversity) and German iDiv (German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research). These two centers are offering to host groups of researchers to work on a better use of existing data, information and knowledge to foster theoretical, and synthetic thinking in biodiversity research.

The EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions Work Programme has launched its open call for individual fellowships. The goal of the Individual Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of experienced researchers, wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition through advanced training, international and intersectoral mobility.

JPI Oceans and JPI Climate have announced a joint transnational call focusing on oceans and climate, using observations and Earth system models. The joint call, supported by 8 countries with a total budget of 8.1 million EUR, will address the following topics:

The Marine Stewadship Council's annual scholarship research program is now accepting applications. The program awards scholarships to support students around the world who are studying fisheries science and management or supply chain traceability. Projects must focus on the study of some aspect of environmental improvement, performance or best practice in fisheries management, or seafood product traceability and supply chain management.

 In 2019 (as in 2018), EuroMarine organises two distinct, parallel calls: 

• A call for proposals of activities (the present call)
• A call for application for individual fellowships (targeting EuroMarine PhD students and scholars in their first post-doctoral position, to let them attend an advanced course of their choice)

The general terms of both calls have been preannounced on 6 March 2019.

The 2019 SCOR Annual Meeting will take place in Toyama, Japan on 23-25 September 2019. Calls for proposals are now open.

The call for pre-proposals is now open for the ERA-NET Blue Bioeconomy co-fund. Interested parties can visit the partnering platform to view opportunities within the call and identify potential partnerships.

The main objective of the COFUND is to establish a coordinated R&D funding scheme that will strengthen Europe’s position in the blue bioeconomy, identifying new and improving existing ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market. 

WIOMSA is implementing a five-year Marine and Coastal Science for Management (MASMA) Programme (2018-2022) that aims to assist the countries of the western Indian Ocean (WIO) to achieve the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); and comply with the Paris Agreement. Collectively, these two frameworks present a universally applicable and interconnected approach to integrating the three dimensions of sustainable development and require a similarly integrative and widely useful mosaic of solutions.
