Want to advance your marine research or test a new device? The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory – European Research Infrastructure Consortium (EMSO ERIC) is offering free access to its state-of-the-art facilities through the Physical Access Call 2025. Learn how to apply and take advantage of this unique opportunity in our upcoming webinar “Diving into Ocean Research with EMSO Physical Access Program: Opportunities and Projects Highlights” on March 28th, 11 am CET.

Connect and listen to Christoph Waldmann (University of Bremen),  Clara Manno (British Antarctic Survey), and Branislav Vrana (Masaryk University) about their inspiring experience after the EMSO projects already granted for Physical Access.  The webinar will also provide essential information to apply to the currently open Call for Physical Access, exploring the available EMSO facilities and resources, and the application guidelines to submit a proposal. Don’t miss this unique opportunity!

 
You will hear about:
 – “Advancing ocean observation with robotics and AI: TRIPLE-Vtest Campaign”;
– “CUPIDO – CalcUlating the strength of the Plastic pump In counteracting the Deep export of Oceanic carbon”;
– “Levels and air-sea exchange of persistent organic pollutants in the marginal sea of Europe: contribution to the global monitoring effort AQUA-GAPS/MONET”.
