In 2020, France created the Ministry of the Sea<\/a>, demonstrating its ambition to reaffirm and promote its polar and maritime strategy. In 2021, the United Nations Decade of Ocean Sciences (2021-2030)<\/a> began. In addition, since 2017 France and Sweden have been linked by a strategic partnership for innovation and green solutions, including the oceanic domain. Finally, in February 2022, the One Ocean Summit will take place in Brest (France), as requested by the President of the French Republic.<\/p>\n

In this context, France wishes to reaffirm its commitment to ocean research and promote the work of young Nordic researchers.<\/p>\n

The FINA award recognises the quality and importance of the work carried out by the winner.<\/p>\n

The prize consists of a scientific mobility in Brest, a key location for ocean research in France. It will follow on from the One Ocean Summit, organised in Brest in February 2022. and from the Sea Tech Week which will take place in September 2022, also in Brest.
