Ocean Graduate Excellence Network (OGEN)
Shape the future of the ocean
MEOPAR is a national Network of Centres of Excellence linking top marine researchers and highly qualified personnel across Canada with partner organizations and communities. MEOPAR funds leading-edge research, overcomes barriers to collaborative research and helps to train the next generation of marine professionals.
IMBeR is a large global research project which focuses on ocean sustainability in the context of global change. They strive to understand past, present, and future changes to the ocean. In particular, IMBeR wants to know how a sustainable ocean for the benefit of society can be achieved.
The MEOPeers are a network of MEOPAR’s highly qualified personnel.
ECOFIRE is a network run by and for the Ocean Frontier Institute’s undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
