[Inria Challenge](https://inria.cl/en/node/957) **OcéanIA** aims at developing new artificial intelligence and mathematical 
modeling tools to contribute to the understanding of the structure, functioning, underlying mechanisms, and dynamics of 
the ocean and their role in regulating and sustaining the biosphere, and tackling the climate change.

**OcéanIA** is a four-years project (11.2020--12.2025) involving [**Inria**](https://inria.fr) teams in 
[**Chile**](https://inria.cl), [**Paris**](https://www.inria.fr/en/centre-inria-de-paris), 
[**Saclay**](https://www.inria.fr/en/centre-inria-saclay-ile-de-france), and 
[**Sophia-Antipolis**](https://www.inria.fr/en/centre-inria-sophia-antipolis-mediterranee), and 
the [**Fondation Tara Océan**](https://oceans.taraexpeditions.org/en/), 
the [**Center of Mathematical Modeling (CMM, U.Chile)**](http://www.cmm.uchile.cl), 
the  [**Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC)**](https://www.uc.cl), 
the [**GO-SEE CNRS Federation**](https://oceans.taraexpeditions.org/en/m/science/news/nouveau-projet-de-recherche-tara-oceans-met-le-cap-sur-une-modelisation-planetaire-de-lecosysteme-planctonique/), 
and the [**Laboratoire des Sciences du Numérique de Nantes (LS2N)**](https://www.ls2n.fr). See the full description of the [team here](#team).

The goals are discussed in depth in the project white book:
