03 February 2025


The NATO Maritime Geospatial, Meteorological, and Oceanographic Centre of Excellence (GEOMETOC COE) is pleased to announce an internship opportunity as part of its efforts to strengthen relationships with academia, support NATO initiatives, and advance critical research and development.

Internship Topic
Spatial-Temporal Data Processing in Physical Oceanography

The focus of this internship is on the development of a 4D oceanographic cubic volume to process and integrate water column data. This project will leverage climatological and real-time data from various sensors, using datasets collected during the Portuguese Navy’s Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping with Maritime Unmanned Systems (REPMUS) exercise series, held annually on the Tróia peninsula.

Key Objectives
  • Develop a robust framework for handling oceanographic data, including conductivity, temperature, depth, and sound velocity.
  • Support NATO’s Rapid Environmental Assessment initiatives for exercises and operations.
  • Contribute to enhancing NATO’s underwater warfare capabilities by providing oceanographic information for unmanned systems and sonar calibration.

Application Process
Candidates should submit their application form Internship Application Form.pdf between the 1st of July and the 1st of September 2025. For more details, please read the Internship Call for Applications Internship Call for Applications.pdf.
