What can you do to ensure that the ocean we grow up with continues to play an essential role in our lives whilst being maintained for future generations?

The Professor Mário Ruivo Prize will be awarded to a team of young people, aged 11-16 years old, for an original project on the theme: “Your Ocean, Your Future”. This can be achieved by designing a novel research project, implementing a community scheme, investigating a topical subject through the popular media, etc. that supports the Blue Society Principles.

The Professor Mário Ruivo Prize will help you put your ideas into action by supporting the development of a project that will improve how humans interact with the ocean: this can be a social experiment, an invention, a research project, etc. This Prize is intended to raise public awareness on the importance of the Ocean and Ocean-related services to humankind.

The challenge is really to dream, and to dream big…

The contest will run over a series of phases - start by registering online, by January 2016. More information
