MISSION ATLANTIC is offering mobility grants to assist students, researchers, technicians, and professionals working on marine Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEA) all around the Atlantic Basin in visiting our partner organisations for up to a six-week period, and carrying out research to improve our understanding of the Atlantic Ocean through the development of IEA.

The MISSION ATLANTIC Mobility Programme aims to support capacity building and knowledge transfer in IEA research and its implementation in all countries bordering the Atlantic ocean basin.

Priority for this call is on applications that focus on IEA at MISSION ATLANTIC's seven case study sites or other specific tasks relevant to the MISSION ATLANTIC work plan.

Applicants from non-partner institutions must be hosted by project partners in the EU, Brazil, and South Africa during the project lifetime (until 2025).

We are delighted to announce the winners of the MISSION ATLANTIC Mobility call 2023 as follows:
