There are current open calls under the European Commission Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters” for Associated Regions that represent ecosystems (e.g. neighbouring regions and/or regions in a different sea or river basin) and/or less-developed regions that can benefit from the demonstration activities, with the view to build capacity to implement the innovative solutions to restore marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Research Ireland recently launched the 2026 edition of Ulysses. 

Government Department or Agencies have identified policy topics or questions where there is a current knowledge gap that can be addressed through accelerated research.

To address this requirement, the Marine Institute is delighted to issue a call for proposals for Research for Policy Awards that aims to delivery policy relevant information in a timely manner. This call includes a total of 21 topics submitted from Government Departments and Agencies across a range of issues that policy makers need to be addressed.
