WIN-BIG Launches Call for Female Ocean Champions

The WIN-BIG project has launched a campaign aimed at amplifying the voices of women in the Blue Economy called: Women Champion Story Collection by sharing the inspiring tales of women making  waves throughout maritime industries.

Why your story matters

The Blue Economy remains largely male-dominated, and one of the best ways to inspire change is to highlight the incredible contributions of women who are already driving innovation and sustainability. Whether you are:

  • A sailor navigating the seas,
  • A marine renewable energy professional harnessing clean power,
  • A scientist or researcher unlocking the secrets of our oceans,
  • An ocean advocate championing conservation,
  • Or involved in shipping, biotechnology, or any other blue-related sector,

What WIN-BIG are doing

WIN-BIG will select their 100 favourite stories and publish them in a special Women Champion Book. This collection will serve as a source of inspiration and empowerment for future generations of women considering careers in the Blue Economy.

How to Participate

Write about your journey, challenges, and how you overcame them to find success and fulfilment in your blue career.
