JPI Oceans invites interested stakeholders to submit new ideas for Joint Actions that can inspire the international research agenda in the marine and maritime domain.
In 2024, two submitted ideas were merged into the scoping action on “Ocean Oxygen Loss.” In 2023, the community consultation led to two scoping actions that are now fully endorsed Joint Actions: “European Marinas Network” and “Offshore Freshened Groundwater.”
New proposals should fall under the thematic scope of the JPI Oceans Strategy Framework 2021–2025 and offer a novel contribution to the current portfolio of activities.
For an idea to move forward, at least one member country must be willing to lead the scoping and potential implementation. In addition, at least four member countries must support the activity, and JPI Oceans must have the necessary management resources.
Submitted ideas will be pre-screened for their feasibility and then considered for discussion by Management Board.
Deadline for submissions: 7 July 2025.
