Dear marine conservationists!
The “Ocean Future Lab” is an interdisciplinary and participatory project that deals with future challenges in dealing with the oceans. Together with a diverse community consisting of artists, scientists and entrepreneurs, we are looking for new solutions on how we can jointly strengthen sustainable development for the seas
With our project we aim to strengthen creative citizen participation now and in the future. The goal is to identify and implement suitable measures in the lab!
After the public vote, the following idea givers were selected directly for participation in the hackathon from September 21-23: Congratulations!
Liebe Meeresschützer:innen!
Das „Ocean Future Lab“ ist ein interdisziplinäres und partizipatives Projekt, das sich mit den Zukunftsherausforderungen im Umgang mit den Meeren beschäftigt. Gemeinsam mit einer vielfältigen Community, bestehend aus Künstler:innen, Wissenschaftler:innen und Unternehmer:innen, suchen wir neue Lösungsansätze, wie wir gemeinsam die nachhaltige Entwicklung für die Meere stärken können
Ziel unseres Projektes ist es, kreative Bürgerbeteiligung jetzt und für die Zukunft zu stärken. Es geht darum, im Lab geeignete Maßnahmen zu identifizieren und zu realisieren!
Nach der öffentlichen Abstimmung wurden folgende Ideengeber:innen direkt für die Teilnahme am Hackathon vom 21. – 23. September ausgewählt: Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
- ANOOSH SOPHIE WERNER
- JOY LOHMANN
A jury also selected 5 other ideas that can be further developed with mentors and experts during the hackathon:
Eine Jury wählte zudem weitere 5 Ideen aus, die während des Hackathons mit Mentor:innen und Expert:innen weiterentwickelt werden können:
- Choral 3.0 – Jaymarlena
- ICYMARE App – Viola Liebich
- Upstream Algae Shopping Spree – Carolin Seeliger, Kathrin Köster and Daniel Kupferberg
- Private Meeresschutzgebiete – Eike Otto and Sibylle Riedmiller
- FLoating Gallery – Siegfried Schwarz
At the end of this online event, the three winners finally determined by the expert jury will be able to present their ideas to the public at the Entrepreneurship Summit (October 22nd, 2022).
We are proud that the Ocean Future Lab is a project of the “Science Year 2022 – Participate!” and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. To this end, we at the IFAI have joined forces with the German Marine Research Alliance, the German Oceanographic Museum Foundation in Stralsund and the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven.
Let’s protect the seas and their inhabitants together! 💙
Am Ende dieses Online-Events werden die drei final durch die Expert:innen-Jury ermittelten Gewinner:innen auf dem Entrepreneurship Summit (22.10.2022) ihre Ideen der Öffentlichkeit präsentieren können.
Wir sind stolz darauf, dass das Ocean Future Lab ein Projekt des „Wissenschaftsjahres 2022 – Nachgefragt!“ ist und vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung gefördert wird. Dafür haben wir uns vom IFAI mit der Deutschen Allianz Meeresforschung, der Stiftung Deutsches Meeresmuseum in Stralsund sowie dem Deutschen Schifffahrtsmuseum in Bremerhaven zusammengeschlossen.
Schützen wir gemeinsam die Meere und ihre Bewohner:innen jetzt! 💙

I am interested in biomaterials and have worked on a variety of different recipes using waste potatoes. Environmental concern and the universal trauma that we share for these catastrophic events we see daily, that would have at a time been a once in a lifetime event, make me passionate about developing my practice. Fusing art and science together as they both require creativity to develop new ways of working. We have all seen the damaging effects that plastic has on our oceans. Because plastic will never fully degrade, it pollutes the landscape and has detrimental affects on the wildlife. To overcome this, I find it necessary to look into alternatives to plastic. My potato bioplastics that I have developed dissolve in water very quickly, using bioplastics such as my potato bioplastics would greatly reduce plastic pollution and the damage this causes aquatic animals // Photograph of potato bioplastic
