OCEAN 2: Towards the Ocean We Want : Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sustainability for Nature and Human Well-being

In this Belmont Forum CRA call, the Research Council of Norway contributes with NOK 17 million to Norwegian research organisations. The purpose of the call is to enhance our knowledge about the oceans and foster international, transdisciplinary research to address global environmental challenges facing our oceans. All Norwegian sea areas are included in the call, included the polar oceans.

This is the Belmont Forum's second call for proposals on the marine and coastal environment. The call has three themes and applications must cover at least one of the three themes. Projects must be transdisciplinary and include partners from a minimum of three of the countries participating in the call, see the Belmont Forum website. The call has been approved as an activity under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. There is a two-stage application process and only invited applicants after submission of sketches can submit a full application by the main deadline. The deadline for registration of sketches is 5 March 2026. The main deadline is 17 September 2026. See specific information for Norwegian partners in the national annex for Norway in the call on the Belmont Forum website.
