Hier, la CIESM participait pour la première fois à la Fête de la Science à Monaco ! Un beau succès, avec de nombreux jeunes visiteurs venus découvrir la biodiversité méditerranéenne et tester notre prototype PRISM en réalité virtuelle. Merci aux organisateurs pour leur accueil.

La Fête de la Science, c’est demain ! Nous avons hâte de vous retrouver à l’Espace Léo Ferré pour vous faire découvrir la CIESM, nos programmes de recherche et nos ateliers autour des sciences marines. Rendez-vous demain sur notre stand pour échanger avec nos équipes.

La CIESM au rendez-vous ! Pour la première fois, la CIESM participe à la Fête de la Science à Monaco Venez découvrir nos recherches à travers des ateliers interactifs ( espèces migratrices et exotiques, notre nouvel outil de mapping 3D PRISM en VR...) Les renseignements ⬇️

New research publication! First satellite-tracking data of a juvenile sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus) in the Mediterranean waters of Türkiye. 51 days of tracking provide new insights into its movements and habitat use. 🔗 The open-access article: peerj.com/articles/21658/
