IRBIM Day 2020 was held on 9 and 10 December 2020 in virtual mode. The objectives were the presentation of research results on the classic topics of the institute’s activities, i.e. marine technology, sustainable fishing, invasion of alien species and the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems.
As always, the event offered the opportunity to discuss with international experts including for 2020 Louise Firth of the University of Plymouth and Joachim Claudet of the CNRS with whom it was also possible to discuss the latest trends in marine research.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
