About IIM

The Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC) is one of the main marine research centers in the Iberian Peninsula. Looking at the Atlantic from Vigo, a city with a strong connection with the sea, the IIM-CSIC faces the challenge of increasing our knowledge about the ocean, from its physical characteristics to the food we take from it and the processes that bind the whole system together.

Research

Research is at the core of the Institute of Marine Research's work. Working along 3 Core Research Themes, which intertwine and connect to each other, the researchers and technicians at the IIM-CSIC look for answers within 9 different research lines.

Innovation

While our research provides us with new knowledge about our sea and shores, at the Institute of Marine Research we are committed to go a step further, creating new collaborations with the industry and other economic activities, be they already 'established' industries, such as fisheries or aquaculture, or 'emerging' ones, such as ocean observation.

Society

Science is not complete until it is shared with society. As a public research institution, the IIM understands that its commitment is with society, fostering a two-way relationship with its surrounding community and an open perspective on science.

Work & Study

Marine scientists, lab technicians, biologists, chemists and engineers, but also economists, lawyers or communicators (both working and in training) contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of our center. With more than 200 employees, the IIM-CSIC is a large community of people who work together for the sake of science, knowledge and sustainability.

Programa de Ciencias Mariñas de Galicia

O IIM-CSIC coordina, xunto co CETMAR e a Universidade de Vigo, o novo Programa de Ciencias Mariñas de Galicia, coa protección e xestión sostible dos servizos dos ecosistemas mariños como o seu principal reto, implicando a máis de 89 grupos de investigación galegos.

Esta nova estratexia actuará a través de tres grandes liñas de actuación: a observación e seguimento do medio mariño e do litoral; acuicultura sostible, intelixente e de precisión, e innovación, coñecemento e oportunidades para adaptarse ao cambio na economía mariña.

Programa financiado polos fondos europeos FEMP/FEMPA e NestGenerationEU, polo Goberno de España - Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación a través do PRTR e pola Xunta de Galicia.

O Programa de Ciencias Mariñas de Galicia é un dos sete programas de Ciencias Mariñas dos Plans Complementarios de I+D+i coas Comunidades Autónomas, que forman parte do Compoñente 17, Investimento 1 do Plan de Transformación e Recuperación da Resiliencia da UE. As accións do Programa fináncianse unhas a través dos fondos Next Generation EU e outras a través do Fondo Europeo Maritimo de Pesca e Acuicultura (FEMP/FEMPA).

Nesta páxina podes ver máis detalles sobre as accións asociadas ao Programa lideradas polo Instituto de Investigacións Mariñas do CSIC.
