Description
This funding initiative aims to foster greater connectivity across the maritime sector by supporting projects that bring together diverse stakeholders to address pressing safety challenges. Priority topics include decarbonisation, digitalisation, climate impacts, and safety at sea. The funder seeks to amplify underrepresented voices—such as those from emerging economies, coastal communities, and women in maritime—and encourages knowledge exchange and collaboration. Projects should generate practical insights and interventions that lead to long-lasting safety improvements for people and infrastructure in the global maritime system.
