ECOP Norway is a dynamic network contributing to the global Early Career Ocean Professional (ECOP) Network Programme under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Located in Bergen, Norway, ECOP Norway aims to support early career ocean professionals by providing valuable networking opportunities, professional development, and capacity-building activities with both national and international partners. Established in 2025, the organization recognizes Norway’s deep-rooted connection with the ocean, a vital element of its cultural identity and a cornerstone of its economy.

ECOP Norway is dedicated to fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange amongst a multidisciplinary cohort connecting academia, local authorities, industry, and society. The organization’s vision is to anchor a strong foundation of ocean advocates and experts, promoting ocean sustainability and contributing to “The Ocean We Want.” This is achieved through targeted events, workshops, and training sessions, all tailored to the needs of its engaged membership, working closely with the Norwegian National Decade Committee.

With a governance structure designed to be inclusive and participatory, ECOP Norway actively involves its members to ensure the network effectively meets their needs. The organization is committed to building a strong community of ocean professionals, ultimately advancing a sustainable future for Norway’s oceans and contributing to a global movement. ECOP Norway is headquartered in Bergen, Norway, and has a committed team supporting its mission. We invite the organization's manager to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform to further amplify its reach and impact.
