Your partnership supports Duke students, faculty, and global partners driving ocean innovation.

The ocean connects us all by fueling innovation, inspiring curiosity, and providing more than half of our planet’s oxygen. As climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution threaten ocean health, Duke University is leading solutions through the Oceans@Duke Initiative—a multidisciplinary community advancing sustainable ocean use and training the next generation of ocean leaders. Each year, Oceans Week at Duke amplifies that mission by bringing together students, practitioners, and partners through education, collaboration, and innovation.

As a sponsor, your organization connects directly with Duke’s most engaged audiences—graduate and professional students in business, engineering, environmental management, public policy, law, and marine science; faculty conducting world‑class research; and global practitioners, alumni, and policy leaders participating throughout the week. Oceans Week attracts hundreds of in‑person participants and thousands more through Duke’s digital network, placing your brand at the center of collaboration and innovation for a regenerative ocean future.
