On the morning of Tuesday 10 November, CCMAR welcomed a delegation of European Union ambassadors as part of a working visit during the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
The visit provided an opportunity to present CCMAR’s scientific activities, research infrastructure and areas of expertise, highlighting the Centre’s contribution to advancing marine science and addressing key challenges facing the ocean and aquatic ecosystems.
Following an introduction by Director Professor Adelino Canário, the delegation visited several research facilities and laboratories, including the technological platforms for structural and analytical chemistry, molecular biology, microscopy and the aquatic bioterium.
The programme enabled the ambassadors to engage directly with researchers, offering a closer look at the scientific work and technological capabilities underpinning CCMAR’s research.
