2026 NF-POGO Open Call for Shipboard Training Fellowships

The 2026 NF-POGO Open Call for Shipboard Training Fellowships works as a database of qualified candidates interested in receiving shipboard training throughout 2026 and early 2027. The application form asks candidates to outline their specific at-sea training interests, including geographical areas and research or training topics, as well as their general availability during the period. When training opportunities arise, POGO will create shortlists of candidates based on the match between the cruise/training objectives and the candidates’ training interests.

This programme is exclusively open to candidates who are nationals of, and engaged in ocean sciences research or studies at institutions in, developing countries and countries with economies in transition (see eligible countries on the training page)
