Associated Projects

MarDATA aims to strengthen the connection between marine sciences and computational approaches. To support this goal and help grow a more connected marine data science community, we now welcome associated projects into our network. These collaborations allow us to bring together a broader range of expertise, share ideas, and work jointly on challenges at the interface of ocean research and data science. By opening MarDATA to associated projects, we hope to encourage new partnerships and deepen the integration of computational science across marine research.

 

Eligible to apply

The associated status is (initially) limited to doctoral projects at all institutions involved in MarDATA, as well as doctoral projects that are part of joint projects in which MarDATA PIs are active.
