:::{admonition} New in 2025: The OceanHackWeek Fellows Program :class: admonition
Are you interested in helping at the OceanHackWeek workshop? Would you like to host your own OceanHackWeek style event? Then the OceanHackWeek Fellows Program is for you! Fellows will be immersed in the OHW philosophy and help support our mission to meet, collaborate, and learn at the intersection of ocean and data sciences. Fellows will join the Organizing Committee for OHW25. Funding support will be provided for Fellows to attend OHW25 as project mentors and assist with logistical support. Applications closed. Decisions announced by July 21. For more details check our OHW Fellows page.

OceanHackWeek (OHW) is a 5-day collaborative learning experience aimed at exploring, creating and promoting effective computation and analysis workflows for large and complex oceanographic data. It includes tutorials, data exploration, software development, collaborative projects and community networking. Its objectives are to:
- Promote data and software proficiency in ocean scientists: Provide participants with computational and data science skills that can advance oceanography research, which often requires the integration and manipulation of diverse sources of data and models.
- Facilitate inclusive community building: Connect oceanographers across disciplines and career stages and cultivate an open science and a sharing culture.
:::{admonition} Participant Quotes :class: note
My experience at the Oceanhackweek 2019 was in a few words a once in a lifetime learning experience. The people involved were amazing, from the organization group to all the participants. The project group I joined was extremely democratic and involved. I learned not only from more advanced researchers but also telling what I knew to my group partners. I definitely recommend this event for everyone that is eager to learn.
-- Ágata Piffer Braga, 2019
It is sometimes hard to predict whether a given conference, training or hack-a-thon might be worth your time. [...] The real challenge, of course, is to find a group of like minded people that want to expand their horizons and learn together, and that is just what I found when I attended Ocean Hackweek.
-- Christian Saranson, 2018
