FULL G-NIGHT PROGRAMME IN VIGO

The CSIC Institute of Marine Research in Vigo joins G-NIGHT: Galician Researchers’ Night 2024 as a collaborating organisation, with a free boat trip around the Vigo ría on the evening of next Friday.

The activity will take place aboard the Nautilus, a boat run by the local company Ocean Secrets, and will last approximately 1.5 hours. Audiences of all ages will be able to discover the marine diversity of the seabed of our ría thanks to the underwater robot carried by the boat, which will show the seabeds of our rías from a unique perspective.

In addition, several researchers from the Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC) will be present to talk about their research in the unique setting of the Vigo ría. Participants will include: 

• Lara García, from the Marine Ecology and Biodiversity group (Ecobiomar)
• Antonio Figueras, from the Immunology and Genomics group
• Isabel Teixeira, from the Ocean Processes in Global Change group
• Belén Arbones, from the Ocean Processes in Global Change group

Capacity is now full

The activity organised as part of G-NIGHT will be free of charge and all places are now filled. If you missed out this time, we hope to see you at future events!
