Interested in partnering?
- OGEN allows your organization to be directly involved in the supervision of a jointly developed research project and the OGEN student working on the research.
- To facilitate this process, OGEN hosts a workshop with your organization and our network of academic researchers, with the goal of linking synergies in research areas. A call for expressions of interest would follow the workshop. Organizations jointly review and select successful projects with the Ocean Frontier Institute, after which the academic researcher and the organization move forward with student recruitment.
- If your organization isn’t able to join as a full partner, you may be interested in providing co-curricular activities to OGEN students. This could include hosting a student for an internship or offering a professional skills development workshop.
- To get involved, please contact us.
