The Marine Institute’s Our Shared Ocean programme offers mobility support for eligible research links involving Ireland and Small Island Developing States. Applicants should establish their eligibility before treating this as an accessible travel grant.
What the opportunity provides
Research exchanges can receive up to €6,000. Separate conference and training support ranges from €500 to €2,000. Eligible costs can include travel and accommodation, but funding is administered through organisations rather than paid as unrestricted personal cash, and awards depend on available funds.
Who can apply
Eligible researchers and institutions in participating Small Island Developing States can consult the programme’s visit rules for exchanges with Ireland. Conference and student categories have different conditions; the official guidelines, not the headline funding maximum, determine which route applies.
How to apply
First email oursharedocean@marine.ie to confirm eligibility and obtain access to the RIMS application system. Then follow the programme’s instructions in the official portal. An application must precede the event by at least one month, and supported events fall within the window ending March 31, 2027.
Deadline
The published closing date is November 5, 2026. A page-expiration value should not be treated as a verified submission time; no reliable submission timezone was established. Confirm the cutoff with the programme and allow time for access arrangements.
