The future is not created with the ghosts of the past,
it is animated by the commitment of tomorrow's generations.
It is a certainty that is verified every day in all fields, change always suffers from the inertia of habits. This is the reason why our civilization, although aware of its peril, has such difficulty in changing.
However, time passes and generations succeed one another, and where commitments precede habits, transformation lies dormant.
Youth has always embodied the hopes of redemption from past mistakes, and this hope, which has never been greater, has never been more literal.
This deep conviction, which motivates more and more students in their choice of career and their impact on the sustainability of this world, is supported by many schools.
These environmental channels, which seek to consume better, manufacture better, reuse better, eat better and live better, represent the silent solution .
A real movement that is already shaking up all sectors and that must be supported and extended.
The "Engaged For Ocean" label is a way to give concrete expression to these commitments by recognizing the efforts made by students, professors and school administrators.
Not an award, but a recognition and the creation of a strong and committed community. The label addressed to higher education institutions creates an environment in which students who share common values will find themselves.
We believe that this growing community of a generation with strong, committed values is an essential and indispensable element in the transformation of our society. It is therefore thanks to this recognition that we wish to support and amplify a large-scale movement that is just beginning to emerge.

AREAS OF COMMITMENT
These sectors are the basis for the transformation of our society
MARITIME
CREW, MOTORIZATION, PRESERVATION
At the heart of the most sensitive and important environment, practices are still lacking and old habits die hard. However, a movement is underway, carried by the next generation.
MATERIALS
RECYCLING, REUSE, SUSTAINABILITY
Minimizing the extraction of mineral and fossil resources, enhancing the value of reuse by diverting or transforming the existing towards the need. A crucial issue and an urgent technical challenge.
DESIGN
USE, HABIT, OPTIMIZATION
Better thinking before manufacturing, better anticipating before industrializing. Design is not only a graphic art, it is also and above all a holistic vision of the object, of the environment.
COMMUNICATION
DISCOVER, TRANSMIT, DISSEMINATE
It is the whole of humanity that is concerned by the absolute necessity to maintain the conditions of life on the planet. To communicate is to bring the necessary elements to the judgment and the conscience.
ENGINEERING
ENERGY, INNOVATIONS, SOLUTIONS
The new constraints are primary, essential, vital. The solutions must be simple and coupled with great innovations in all fields. A whole world to rethink
SCIENCE
STUDY, UNDERSTANDING, DISCOVERY
Understand all the mechanics of nature, and draw resources and inspiration from biomimicry. Analyze the consequences of all choices and create the conditions for the future.
MAKE A MUTUAL COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER
to protect the ocean and our planet
The "Engaged For Ocean" label is not only a symbol, it is also, and above all, a support for oceanographic exploration and research. A labelled school is kept informed of the projects supported, the projects in progress and the problems encountered.
More than a symbol, it is also an invitation to go beyond the framework and to invest oneself personally, as a group, in these projects for which the fields studied will provide concrete answers.
This community spirit, this maritime tradition, is the solidarity of seafarers, which we transpose here to the protection and study of the Ocean.
All together, let's be "Engaged For Ocean"!
