Ozeaon Open Calls are designed to reduce this fragmentation by connecting opportunities to the people, projects, organisations, and knowledge areas they are meant to support.

Opportunity Discovery

Organisation Visibility

Help institutions, NGOs, funders, accelerators, universities, and networks reach audiences already engaged in regenerative innovation.

Repeat Engagement

Open Calls give you a reason to return because opportunities are time-sensitive and action-oriented.

Opportunity Matching

We will introduce stronger matching between opportunities, profiles, projects, organisations, and OCIS-related intelligence.

What counts as an Open Call?

An Open Call is any time-sensitive invitation to participate — a grant, accelerator, fellowship, residency, research collaboration, challenge, competition, job, consultancy, training programme, call for content, or partnership.

A strong Open Call should help you understand:

  • What the opportunity is
  • Who is eligible
  • What support or value is offered
  • What the deadline is
  • What topics or regions it relates to
  • How to apply
  • Who is organising it
  • How it connects to regenerative innovation
