Marine Science National Program

The national Marine Sciences program brings together 7 autonomous communities (Andalusia, Cantabria, Valencia, Galicia, Murcia, Canary Islands and Balearic Islands) with the commitment to integrate and promote 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, the program will develop a research, innovation and transfer network to integrate and develop three basic lines of action.

The Complementary Plan for R&D&I in marine sciences ThinkInAzul brings together 7 autonomous communities (Andalusia, Cantabria, Valencia, Galicia, Region of Murcia, Canary Islands and 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.
