The institute carries out innovative research and training activities combining oceanography (with its biology, chemistry, physics components), climate and digital sciences, robotics and marine engineering reinforced by economics, law, marine and maritime history and geography. The Ocean Sciences Institute is designed to train a new generation of talented and selected researchers, engineers, lawyers and managers in France and abroad in order to meet the major challenges of the ocean environment. The project is based on both (1) a Masters course from Aix-Marseille University and the École Centrale Marseille (2) high-level training based on research, with immersion in our research laboratories , the industries of the Mediterranean Sea Cluster network, IRD, IRSN, IFREMER and the technical division of INSU/CNRS with their marine high technology centers.
The integration of the University of Toulon, including its SeaTech engineering school and its associated laboratories (M I O, DICE, LIS (double supervision AMU/UTLN), LEAD, COSMER, MAPIEM IM2NP, IMSIC) strengthens the expertise of the OCEAN Institute in areas such as underwater acoustics, maritime law, maritime economics, modeling, oceanography and marine robotics. In addition, OCEAN actively participates in the European Ocean Research and Education Alliance (EOREA), an alliance bringing together 14 European universities in marine sciences and in the European CIVIS network. OCEAN represents AMU at the Pôle Mer Méditerranée, the network of marine universities and the European alliance EOREA and works in close collaboration with the Cité de l’Innovation et des Savoirs Aix-Marseille (CISAM+ project).
