The Girls in Ocean Science Conference connects influential female scientists with the next generation of ocean ambassadors.

Join like-minded peers who are passionate about the ocean. Conduct research with leading scientists in our labs and at sea aboard the R/V Sea Explorer. Gain an understanding of the education and career pathways in ocean science. Empower yourself to advance your passion for the ocean into a career.

At the GIOS Conference, you’ll get the chance to hear from influential female scientists about their career journey and how they became experts in their field. You will also be engaging in exclusive hands-on activities reflecting each scientist’s line of work. Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided as well as a GIOS t-shirt and goodie bag. You will rotate around the facilities with the chance to hear from each scientist both in our lab and on the boat. We have one day dedicated to middle school students and one day for high school students. Join us for a fun-filled day of science and leave with an interest to explore the ocean further!
