Co-Explore Diverse Topics
We strive to develop relationships that enable co-exploration of singular and diverse topics. We offer a variety of opportunities to learn together. Our preference is to develop respectful yet challenging spaces for conversations. Over the past 30 years topics have included ocean science, ocean literacy, space exploration, earth and earth science literacy, systems literacy, cybernetics, historical and current events and much more.
Areas of Interest
We have over 30 years of experience with participants from over 40 countries. Sonce 1991 we have seen over 18,000 co-explorers online on our online campus. They have participated in workshops and courses on a variety of topics.

Conversation Series has Finished
The conversational webinar series starts with the legacy of the HMS Challenger expedition on its 150th anniversary and develops a diverse global community of citizen scientists who understand the influence of the ocean on our lives and our influence on the ocean.
Beginning with our series launch on September 14, 2023, ocean scientists and science historians feature in virtual roundtable discussions of the iconic voyage – its founding discoveries and achievements, as well as its controversial place in the history of British imperialism. Most of all, we will focus attention on Challenger’s relevance to marine science and conservation today, at a time of unprecedented crisis for the ocean.
Thank you for joining our transatlantic partners in this urgent public conversation on ocean exploration – past, present, and future – featuring experts in marine science, history, and education.
