Applications are being accepted for the three-day Lab2Market Ocean / Discover program, which is designed for anyone conducting ocean research, ocean-related research or research with a potential ocean application.
The program will help researchers explore their ideas in a new way to identify how to create more value and impact with their research through potential commercial or collaborative research opportunities. Seed Fund applicants will also benefit from this training by refining their ideas on how to create growth from the initial Seed funding.
Sessions will run on April 29, May 1 and May 3, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Atlantic Time).
This program is funded by the Transforming Climate Action research program led by the Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI) and delivered by the Ocean Startup Project in partnership with Dal Innovates.
Participants will earn micro credentials after completing the program.
This call for applications is open to:
Priority will be given to researchers currently involved with OFI’s Transforming Climate Action program and equity-deserving groups (women, Indigenous peoples, racialized individuals, people with disabilities and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities).
Up to 40 applications will be selected and applications are due April 21.
If you experience technical problems or have questions related to the application or your eligibility, please contact Marie Curtis, Lab2Market Project Manager at the Ocean Startup Project.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), when paired with extensive emissions reductions, is a mitigation strategy to limit warming to 1.5°C as it removes legacy carbon emissions from the atmosphere by augmenting natural processes on ocean and land.
However, in order to meet climate goals, CDR must scale 30 times its present capacity by 2030, which is estimated to require an annual global investment of 1.13 billion USD/year for research and development.

This panel event is focused on the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, which will provide a valuable tool to support the transparency of global mitigation action.
The system will be built on three components:
Open and unrestricted access to data will ensure a full transparency of system outputs, which will provide globally consistent information that will feed multiple applications including supplementary information to the traditional inventory reporting.
