ArtWaves is an artist-in-residence program offering annual fellowships. The art projects within this scheme are intended to address aspects of marine biodiversity change and to promote public understanding and the transfer of knowledge in a changing world through art.
ArtWaves has the ambition to support the transfer of scientific knowledge also to the science-policy interface where scientific knowledge finds its way into implementing and legislating policy solutions and application. By nurturing creativity and innovation, the program not only educates but also inspires action and awareness for ocean conservation and marine biodiversity research. This cooperation is closely linked to the United Nations Ocean Decade and officially endorsed as an Ocean Decade Action.
