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 5 Departments, three focusing on scientific research: 1) Biology and Evolution of Marine Organisms; 2) Integrative Marine Ecology, 3) Marine Animal Conservation and Public Engagement and two dedicated to technological research 4 Research Infrastructures for Marine Biological Resources, 5) Marine Biotechnology.
Biology and Evolution of Marine Organisms
Studies the fundamental biological mechanisms that allow animals to deal with the challenges of Life on Earth.
Ecosustainable Marine Biotechnology
The mission of the Marine Biotechnology Department is to conduct and promote scientific research regarding the possible applications of marine natural products in the biomedical and environmental sectors
Integrative Marine Ecology
Promotes interdisciplinary research on biodiversity, structure and functioning of marine ecosystems.
Research Infrastructures for marine biological resources
The Department of Research Infrastructures for marine biological resources (RIMAR) provides high technology services and access to infrastructure and research platforms to the national and international scientific community, as well as support third mission activities such as third-party contracts
Marine Animal Conservation and Public Engagement
Research activities aim at conservation of large marine vertebrates and correct management and reproduction of marine fauna in controlled environment.
