Earth 300

It intends to host experts in diverse fields, enabling interdisciplinary research into climate change, oceanography, and sustainability issues.

[3][1] Olivera describes the goal as "to build the Olympic torch of global science:"[4] a vessel whose design will "capture peoples' attention but also their hearts and imaginations" and focus them on the problem of climate change.

[5] As well as inspiring the general public, the modernist design is intended to attract eco-tourists who would subsidise the voyages, allowing scientists and students to travel for free.

[7] Earth 300 has an advisory group which includes Michael J. Silah, formerly of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps, and film producer Mario Kassar.

[15] Olivera, who is now Earth 300's CEO, envisages that the vessel will host scientists from marine-, earth- and climate science as well as experts from other fields including economics, art and engineering.

Simon Redfern, dean of the college of science at Nanyang Technological University, described as "exciting" the prospect that Earth 300 would fill gaps in humanity's knowledge of the oceans.

Stover has referred to Olivera's intended guests, which include Elon Musk and Michelle Obama, and the broader project as "[...] more aspirational than realistic".
