It was a pleasure to welcome the Degree in Marine Sciences at UVigo to our facilities at the Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC). Below is the guided visit programme we prepared for them:

10:00 – Reception and Welcome:

We began the day with a reception and welcome in the IIM-CSIC Assembly Hall, where staff from the UCC+I introduced our institution and the work carried out here.

Visits to Laboratories and Aquarium:

During the visit, they had the opportunity to explore some of our leading laboratories and our aquarium, guided by experts in each area:

• Marine Biogeochemistry (Ricardo Prego)
• Immunology and Genomics Group ( Beatriz Novoa).
• Ecology and Marine Resources (Lara García and Helena Domínguez)
• Microbiology and Technology of Marine Products (Raquel Nogueira)

This activity was organised by the centre’s UCC+I and carried out within the framework of the “OceanNight” projects.

14:00 – Farewell:

We hope they enjoyed the visit and found it educational and inspiring. Thank you very much for coming to the Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC)!
