The annual Ocean Science Symposium (OSS) is a no cost two-day event held at UVic which brings together high school students and educators interested in the many facets of marine science.

During this immersive experience of activities and interactive sessions, participants learn about potential careers, current research, and scientific opportunities within the evolving world of ocean exploration, science and technology. Through activities and interactive sessions, educators and students connect with each other, with scientists and with other knowledge holders and a diverse range of presenters.

Intended participants for this event are high school students accompanied by a teacher or chaperone from communities all over British Columbia and the Arctic. Some travel funding is available for qualified applicants outside of Victoria.
