The INSITE Programme is looking for highly experienced and motivated individuals to join the Science Advisory Group (SAG). As a SAG member, you’ll guide the programme’s scientific direction, advise on science excellence, safeguard scientific independence, and help assess the impact of research on the marine environment.
Your expertise will shape the future of research on Marine Artificial Structures (MAS), focusing on environmental, economic and social effects. The SAG will collaborate independently of your affiliations to ensure the programme’s scientific objectives are met and INSITE research findings are effectively communicated to stakeholders.
As well as SAG members, we are also looking for a Chair who will lead the SAG, ensuring high standards are maintained, and mentoring members as necessary; run meetings with the INSITE Programme Director team (PD) support; have the final decision on matters of split opinion, support the PD as necessary to discharge the SAG role and responsibilities; work with the PD to replace members who step down.
The INSITE Programme is an innovative European-wide research programme that has so far attracted nearly £10 Million total funding and delivered 18 projects, with 17 UK, Dutch, German, Belgian, and Norwegian research institutions. Since 2015, INSITE has fostered collaboration between the scientific community and the oil and gas industry. INSITE Phase 2 ends in August 2025, with Phase 3 research commencing soon. The programme aims to advance knowledge on their impact on marine environments and ecosystems, ensuring sustainable ocean management.
INSITE Phase 3 has two operational stages: the project phase and the impact phase. Successful projects will start research around September 2025 and deliver their findings by March 2027.
We regularly publish updates on the projects that are directly funded by the Programme and other related research. If you would like to be kept up to date, sign up for our Connections newsletter.
