We are Ocean Community/OC and this spring we will present OC Academy to you!
The OC Academy includes 5 seminars to help you better understand the challenges our oceans are facing and how you can take action and work on solutions to tackle these challenges in a sustainable and commercially viable way.
If you are - just like us - an ocean and sustainable blue-tech lover, this is for you!
​
Keep in mind that this is our pilot seminars series which is for IPL students only, but we are planning to do more seminars for other students in the autumn.
If you are interested to either participate or to bring this format into your university, feel free to contact us at contact@oceancommunity.co
Why
Oceans are key for the existence of life on earth. Oceans provide the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. It is crucial that we find ways to preserve and protect our oceans to ensure a sustainable future.
What
We want to capture sustainable ocean tech ideas and transform them into commercially viable products and ventures to solve ocean challenges.
How
The pilot seminar series at Politécnico de Leiria will help you better understand, execute and commercialize ocean relevant early-stage ideas. You will gain practical experience of ideation and commercialization through the seminars, and in between supported by our Ocean Community coaches. You will also will have an opportunity to enter into Ocean Community Challenge 2021 upon conclusion of the seminars once well-prepared and equipped with new knowledge.
