The Oceano Azul Foundation in partnership with the Fundao Francisco Manuel dos Santos (FFMS) has outsourced the University of Porto to develop a study on the state of the art of marine sciences in Portugal.
This initiative aims at establishing a baseline about the impact of Portuguese marine sciences in all domains, and position them in the international context to allow a strategic view on the most competitive areas and the main gaps.
A report with the current situation of the marine sciences in Portugal including the geographical characterization, current developments and future perspectives will be delivered, together with a strategic overview for their development in the next years. This report will be sent to the Government of Portugal and made available to the general public. A free to use webpage with all information available will be built.
