Following a successful first round, MarRI-UK is once again inviting maritime micro-companies to join our community through the Micro-Company Membership Access Scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that small companies often face financial challenges, but also recognise that financial barriers shouldn’t limit innovation. Because of this, this scheme allows micro-maritime companies to join our collaborative community via an “in-kind” contribution basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While our standard Tier 3 membership fee stands at \u00a31000 per year, micro companies opting for the in-kind approach could fulfil this commitment through tangible contributions. This could include organising events with the core team or participating in external workshops on behalf of MarRI-UK to offer valuable insights to research communities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The in-kind contribution is applicable for the first two years. Following this period, the membership fee will transition to a cash payment unless a special case is considered.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can apply?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible, your company must be active in maritime research and innovation and meet any two<\/strong> of these criteria: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
