The Mário Ruivo Memorial Lecture is an initiative endorsed by UN Ocean Decade and promoted by IOC-UNESCO, EurOcean and the Portuguese Government, which intends to stimulate and recognise early career ocean researchers, seriously contributing to United Nations’ 2030 Agenda – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 14 and to the objectives of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
This initiative is a homage to Professor Mário Ruivo’s long-life commitment to ocean science and the sustainability of the ocean, and his significant contributions to the work of IOC, most notably ocean knowledge, governance, capacity development, literacy, and international cooperation.
A distinguished early career ocean researcher will do this tribute during the IOC-UNESCO Assembly in 2023.
The early career ocean professional will be chosen through a public application process.
Please find here the necessary documentation to apply.
