EXTENDED
COMMUNITY

Ocean i3 forms an extended community based on learning, research and intervention.

COMMUNITY COMPOSITION

It includes academic and non-academic agents who contribute their diverse knowledge and perspectives to build complex and integrated visions of the problems linked to plastic pollution.

It actively participates in the conceptualization and design of the project, assumes functions of facilitation between the university community and the territorial agents and deals with the management, organization and logistics.

It includes a mentor from each university that concentrates the link between teaching teams, the project team and university organization (addresses, services, vice-chancellors, etc.).

It is made up of research teaching staff from both universities who supervise students and participate in the design of methodologies, the identification of Oi3 competences and the development of collaborations with agents.

It consists mainly of students from various disciplines of 4th year and Master in UPV/EHU and License, Master and University Diplomas in UB, in addition to the transversal participation of doctoral students.

TRANSFER OF THE INITIATIVE

Oi3 is consolidating an approach of learning and research communities for sustainability that could be transferable and scalable to other thematic areas developed in the Euskampus Bordeaux Campus (e.g. Circular Economy, renewable energies, among others).

The European Atlantic strategy is also an area of reference for transfer, and in particular we have participated in conferences to contribute results to Pillar 2 Blue Skills and Ocean Literacy.

Ocean i3 is currently taken into account as an international good practice to nourish the framework of the European University Alliance ENLIGHT Erasmus + in which UPV/EHU and UB participate and whose main objective is: to promote equitable quality of Life, sustainability and Global engagement through Higher education Transformation.
