Cooperation and Outreach

Outreach and cooperation is an important aspect of our work. Our cooperation with the Swedish Institute for the Marine Environment, the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, and the Water Authorities in Gothenburg gives us a unique connection to other authorities, and Viable Seas is a platform to meet with the industry. Our marine research stations are open to schools and the general public. Altogether, the Department is an important node in a complete network of marine research, education, development, and innovation.
