Call for proposals 2025: MARiNAO - Marine research in the North Atlantic Ocean

Call deadline

17th February 2025,12:00 noon Faroese time (GMT).

Available Budget

The total budget for this call is 14.4 million DKK.*

The maximum amount of funding available per project is 3.6 million DKK. The aim is to fund four projects.

Aims of the programme

The overarching aim of the programme is to generate new knowledge on the marine environment in the North Atlantic Ocean and to promote cooperation between the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Denmark on marine research.

Thematic framework

We call for proposals focused on marine processes related, but not limited, to the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe-Scotland Ridge (hereafter called “the Ridge”).

The Ridge is an important geographical boundary between the North Atlantic Ocean and the subarctic seas. Water exchanges across the Ridge are strongly modulated by its presence: cold water from the north sinks hundreds of metres on the southern side, thus breaking the hydrostatic assumption used in most ocean and climate models. Marine life flourishes at the shallow banks. Strong horizontal fronts between northward flowing warm waters and southward flowing cold waters cause strong mixing and intense eddy activity. In the west, the East Greenland Current is the main conduit of sea ice, glacial ice and freshwater exiting the Arctic Ocean, yielding productive fishing grounds that have been used for hundreds of years.

The Ridge is a region of large scientific complexity in most marine disciplines, and a unifying theme for the countries inhabiting it. Therefore, we seek collaborative and interdisciplinary project proposals between Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Denmark. Where relevant, we encourage cooperation with partner institutions from other countries in the area, which may participate with own funding.

A successful project is dedicated to marine disciplines, such as physical, chemical, or biological oceanography, including themes such as ocean acidification and climate change, marine ecosystems, or biodiversity.

Expected impact

Successful proposals are expected to contribute to enhancing the scientific standing of marine sciences in Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Denmark, through capacity building; data collection and data management; knowledge and infrastructure sharing; and the production of scientific excellence.
