This initiative celebrates the legacy of Professor Mário Ruivo, former Executive Secretary of UNESCO-IOC and one of Portugal’s most influential champions of ocean science and sustainability. Professor Mário Ruivo’s inspiring work, lifelong commitment to ocean science and sustainability, and foundational contributions to the development of the UNESCO-IOC will be honored through a lecture on the winning project, to be delivered by a distinguished ECOP during the IOC Assembly in June 2025.
The second edition will culminate in the selected ECOP delivering a keynote lecture on their project as part of this prestigious series. This lecture will continue to pay tribute to Professor Ruivo’s groundbreaking contributions to ocean governance and sustainability, while amplifying the voices of the next generation of ocean scientists and leaders.
Applications are open to ECOPs, born in 1984 or later, who are leading projects as principal investigators (PI) or co-PIs. The submission deadline is on the 2nd of February 2025. The initiative seeks to highlight innovative research and solutions that align with the Ocean Decade’s goal of delivering The Science We Need For The Ocean We Want.
