MEDIN is funded and governed by a consortium of Sponsors. These Sponsors include a range of UK marine organisations who support MEDIN’s principles and lead the UK in marine data management.

The Sponsors steer MEDIN’s direction and contribute their expertise during the creation of the MEDIN business plan. Becoming a MEDIN Sponsor will give you:

Leverage in a ~£0.5 million/year project with only a relatively small outlay per Sponsor. Benefit from pooled resources achieving more than you could individually.
Direct involvement in a project that benefits the entire marine community.
A say on the strategic direction of UK marine data management.
A place on the MEDIN Sponsors’ Board, the ultimate decision-making body for MEDIN.
Promotion at all MEDIN events with your organisation’s logo displayed clearly.
