Initiative overview

The OcéanIA Challenge is a French initiative designed to advance scientific knowledge of the ocean through the application of AI and mathematical models. By analysing complex oceanic data, the initiative seeks to better understand the structure, functioning, and underlying mechanisms of the ocean and its ecosystems.

Key objectives include:

  • Developing AI-based tools for ocean observation, modelling, and prediction
  • Enhancing knowledge of the ocean’s role in regulating the biosphere
  • Supporting research that contributes to climate change mitigation and environmental protection

The initiative encourages collaboration between research institutions, universities, and technology developers to ensure that AI tools are both scientifically rigorous and practically applicable. By combining cutting-edge AI with oceanography, OcéanIA helps inform policies and strategies related to climate adaptation and marine conservation.
