OCPP Sri Lanka Scholars
Meet the Ocean Country Partnership Programme Scholars Sri Lanka 2024.
The OCPP Scholarships Sri Lanka, funded through the UK’s Blue Planet Fund, supported emerging marine scientists from Sri Lanka to undertake postgraduate study and research in marine science. Hosted by University of Peradeniya and University of Kelaniya, the programme helped scholars develop the knowledge and skills needed to address marine environmental challenges and contribute to the sustainable management of marine resources in Sri Lanka.
