Explore the Mediterranean Sea to understand and protect the Global Ocean
Founded in 1872, the SZN is among the most influential research Institutions in the field of marine biology and ecology.
The SZN carries on advanced research on the biology, ecology and evolution of marine organisms.
A core activity of the SZN is the higher education and formation of young scientists to lead pure and applied research.
Research Departments
The research at the SZN is organized in 3 Departments, two focusing on scientific research: 1) Biology and Evolution of Marine Organisms; 2) Integrative Marine Ecology, and one dedicated to technological research 3) Research Infrastructures for Marine Biological Resources.
Biology and Evolution of Marine Organisms
Studies the fundamental biological mechanisms that allow animals to deal with the challenges of Life on Earth.
Integrative Marine Ecology
Promotes interdisciplinary research on biodiversity, structure and functioning of marine ecosystems.
Research Infrastructures for marine biological resources
The Section RIMAR was established to provide services and access to research platforms.
Hot Topics
