Applications are open for researchers, students and communities to submit their ideas for preserving ocean habitats.
What companies besides La Foundation Dassault Systèmes are also taking steps to preserve the planet and encourage sustainable solutions?
Regarding our project, some organizations are already collaborating with la Fondation, such as the Ifremer (the French institute that undertakes research and expert assessments to advance knowledge on the oceans and their resources, monitor the marine environment and foster the sustainable development of maritime activities), and French Public organizations for education, such as the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
