The Ocean CD-Hub is a prototype which responds to a request from IOC Member States to create an online search engine which helps individuals and organizations (e.g., early career professionals, managers, technicians, government officials, schoolteachers, etc.) search for capacity development opportunities (e.g., awards, fellowships, grants, Internships/Jobs, teaching materials, trainings, etc.) offered around the world.

Information available on the Ocean CD-Hub is sourced from publicly available information and contributions from UNESCO/IOC stakeholders.
