The national Marine Sciences program brings together 7 autonomous communities (Andalusia, Cantabria, the Valencian Community, Galicia, the Region of Murcia, the Canary Islands, and the Balearic Islands) with a commitment to integrating and promoting all marine research in these regions and with the overall objective of creating a network of centers of excellence to cooperatively address challenges in marine research, aquaculture, new technologies, impacts on the marine environment, and the blue economy.
In this sense, through the program a research, innovation and transfer network will be developed that will allow the integration and development of three basic lines of action.
The ThinkInAzul Complementary Plan for R&D&I in marine sciences brings together seven autonomous communities (Andalusia, Cantabria, the Valencian Community, Galicia, the Region of Murcia, the Canary Islands, and the Balearic Islands) with the commitment to integrate and promote all marine research in these regions and with the general objective of creating a network of centers of excellence to cooperatively address challenges in marine research, sustainable aquaculture, new technologies, impacts on the marine environment, food sovereignty, climate change in Spain, and the blue economy.
In this regard, the program will develop a research, innovation, and transfer network that will integrate and develop three basic lines of action: Observation and monitoring of the marine and coastal environment; sustainable, smart, and precision aquaculture y blue economy, innovation and opportunities.
The ThinkInAzul of the Valencian Community (GVA-ThinkInAzul) is a consortium made up of 39 research groups that brings together more than 370 researchers from the CSIC, the University of Alicante, the Polytechnic University of Valencia, the University of Valencia, the Miguel Hernández University of Elche, the Jaume I University and the Catholic University of Valencia.
Every March 26th, World Climate Day is commemorated, an initiative promoted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to raise awareness about the importance of climate change and the challenges posed by its alteration. It is a key date for
The Torre de la Sal Aquaculture Institute (IATS-CSIC) is offering four introductory research grants within the framework of the CSIC's JAE-Intro-ICU program, with the support of the Castelló Provincial Council. These grants are aimed at university students interested in research.
