🤔 What if nutrients from aquaculture could become a resource for the ocean? Researchers José González and Pablo Serret from our operator #CIM took part in an experiment at the #CretaCosmos mesocosm facility of #HCMR in Crete, as part of the European @iriscc.bsky.social project.

🔬 Discover the next generation of imaging technologies! #IMAGINE launches an #OpenCall for external research teams to test and validate 6 innovative imaging technologies, combining 2 or 3 in real-world research projects. @embrcspain.bsky.social @embrc.eu

🤔 How far could your research go with access to the right research infrastructures? We took part in the first @aquaserv.bsky.social Conference to showcase the opportunities that @embrcspain.bsky.social's facilities offer to the scientific community.

Researcher Sebastián Escobar Aguirre from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile took advantage of his #TA visit through @aquaserv.bsky.social  at our operator @pie-upvehu.bsky.social to deliver a seminar on his scientific research.

🔬 He is investigating the reproductive health of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) in Chilean estuarine ecosystems, using molecular biomarkers and the scientific capabilities of our facilities.

✈️ From Roscoff to Vigo, sharing knowledge and expertise across European marine research infrastructures. We welcomed researchers and technicians from @sbroscoff.bsky.social @embrc-france.bsky.social France to #ECIMAT #CIM as part of the @embrc.eu Staff Mobility Programme.

ECIMAT Director Damian Costas and our Scientific Director @estef-paredes.bsky.social hosted the visit 👉 showing them around the facilities, with a particular focus on 🧊 cryopreservation techniques, the shipment of marine biological resources and the maintenance of sea urchins as model organisms.

📣 Five recommendations to advance marine observation technologies in Europe. @embrc.eu shares key insights from #BlueTechEurope2026 in its new policy paper, outlining how to move forward and address emerging challenges.

📣 Five days to discover how far access to a research infrastructures can take you. The first @AQUASERV_RI Conference is coming, bringing together research, infrastructures and opportunities in marine and freshwater sciences.

❄️ From Spain to Hradec Králové, connecting science and research infrastructures. At @embrcspain.bsky.social, we travelled to the Czech Republic to show our support for the 62nd International Meeting of the Society for Low Temperature Biology #SLTB2026, one of Europe’s leading cryobiology meetings.

📣 From potential to real impact on society. We addressed this question at #BIOSPAIN2026 through #MARINNONET, a network we are part of that organised a roundtable on the future of #BlueBiotech in the Atlantic.

📍 Find us at #BIOSPAIN2026!  #EMBRC_Spain is in Bilbao 👉 showcasing the capabilities we make available to the scientific and business communities. 🔬🌐 Discover more about our services, research infrastructures and access opportunities at the stands of our operators #CIM and @pie-upvehu.bsky.social.

🌐 We are taking @embrcspain.bsky.social’s capabilities beyond Europe. Our operator #CIM’s participation in #COLACMAR2026 in Panama was also an opportunity to showcase our marine research infrastructures, services and resources to the scientific community across the Americas. 🔬

🌎 From Chile to the Basque Country to keep connecting people, infrastructures and knowledge. Santiago Escobar Aguirre, from Universidad Católica de Santiago de Chile, is undertaking 👉 a three-week transnational access #TNA through @aquaserv.bsky.social at our operator @pie-upvehu.bsky.social.

🤝 Cooperation also means innovation. Our operator #CIM took part in the @interreg.eu #CooperationDay, sharing the experience of #MARINNONET, 👉 a transnational network connecting partners from Spain, France, Ireland and Portugal to bring research and industry closer together in blue biotechnology. 💙

💪 When collaboration delivers results, it becomes an example to follow. This week, #MARINNONET, a project in which @embrcspain.bsky.social participates, was showcased as a success story at the first #AtlanticWestMED Stakeholder Conference.

🤝 Connecting researchers & research infrastructures to open up new opportunities for Polar research. ❄️ Members of @pie-upvehu.bsky.social, an operator of #EMBRC_Spain, met monday & tuesday with the #PolarCSIC Working Group to explore new avenues for collaboration in Polar research.

🔬 @cimuvigo.bsky.social researcher Carlos Andrés Ramírez carried out a TNA through @aquaserv.bsky.social at @ciimar.bsky.social to study how stocking density affects turbot welfare and advance the development of non-invasive monitoring tools.

📣 We work to connect marine stations, knowledge and people! Ibon Cancio, representative of the Spanish node of @embrc.eu, took part in the 3rd Biennial World Congress of Marine Stations in Canada, an event bringing together a global community of nearly 900 marine stations.
