      About the IIM

      The Marine Research Institute (IIM) is a research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) dedicated to the comprehensive study of marine ecosystems and their resources, from a scientific, technological and applied perspective.

      Since its creation, the IIM has carried out intense research activity aimed at generating excellent knowledge, transferring results to society and supporting decision-making in key areas such as marine conservation, the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture resources, and the impact of global change on the oceans.

      The Institute’s mission is based on:

      • The development of high-quality scientific research with international reach.
      • The training of highly qualified research and technical staff.
      • The transfer of knowledge to the productive sector and public administrations.
      • A commitment to sustainability, scientific ethics and social responsibility.

      Scientific Research

      Research is the basis of the work of the Marine Research Institute. Working around three core research themes that are intertwined and connected to one another, the technical and research staff of the IIM-CSIC seek answers related to nine different research lines.

      This website aims to provide a clear and up-to-date overview of the scientific, technical and management activity carried out at the Institute, as well as to facilitate access to relevant information for the research community, the center’s staff, public administrations, partner companies and society in general.

      Through the different sections, you can learn about our mission, organizational structure, research lines, support services, internal committees and administrative procedures, as part of an exercise in transparency, coordination and continuous improvement.

      Employment and Training

      Our laboratory technical staff, or staff with degrees in Marine Sciences, Biology, Chemistry and Engineering, as well as in Economics, Law or Communications (both employees and trainees), contribute to the multidisciplinary nature of our center. With more than 200 people working there, the IIM-CSIC is a large community of people who collaborate with one another in the name of science, knowledge and sustainability.

      Science and Society

      Science is not complete until it is shared with society. As a public research institution, the IIM understands that its commitment is to society and promotes a mutual relationship with the community around it and an open perspective on science.

Library

Organizing scientific knowledge to make it accessible to everyone is a complex task that requires professionals with extensive training and broad knowledge.

The Library Service of the Institute of Marine Research is the team responsible for these tasks. The service operates as a public-access library with a broad catalog of publications, both in print and digital format, which are easily accessible through its digital catalog.

Digital Catalog and Virtual Library

You can also access the CSIC open repository (Digital.CSIC), a source of open-access publications for anyone outside the center.

Digital.CSIC | Open Access Repository

The Institute’s collection covers several titles focused on the IIM’s research interests, such as Oceanography, Fisheries, Aquaculture, Marine Ecology or Chemistry and Technology of Seafood Products, as well as images and titles that serve as an archive of the IIM’s historical and scientific past.

In addition to preserving the collection, the Library and Documentation Service staff ensure access to the information and documentation needed to carry out studies, teaching, research and knowledge of the various scientific disciplines related to the field of marine research.

They also support research and technical staff when updating their publications and scientific profiles in various databases, both internal (ConCiencia, Digital.CSIC, etc.) and external (WoS, Scopus, etc.), and facilitate access to programs that promote open access to information, following the Institutional Open Access Mandate and thanks to the support of the CSIC Open Access Publishing Support Program.

If you are part of the IIM-CSIC staff, consult the full catalog of services on the IIM Intranet.
