CIM has designed different actions aimed at fostering interdisciplinary collaboration within its research staff. Thus, We are CIM promotes the internal cohesion of the center with informal meetings with personnel from different profiles culminating at the end of the year in the Annual CIMentos Assembly.
We are CIM
With the aim of sharing experiences and establishing new synergies in a relaxed atmosphere, We are CIM meetings are organized. These are gatherings where personnel from different backgrounds come together to collaborate, sharing dynamics of funding, conceptualization, or project generation.
Annual CIMentos Assembly
On November 10, 2023, the I Annual CIMentos Assembly took place at the University Campus of Vigo, a scientific event organized by the Marine Research Center (CIM) of the University of Vigo with the objective of bringing together all the research staff of the center in a dedicated space for the presentation of works, knowledge exchange, and establishment of collaborations.
During the meeting, attended by more than a hundred researchers from the center, scientific advances were shared through a dozen oral presentations and 32 posters on topics related to aquaculture and sustainable resource exploitation, biodiversity and ecosystem services, global change and pollution, renewable energies and new resources, and integrated coastal zone management.
A space for scientific diversity and interdisciplinary collaboration
One of the main focuses of this meeting was to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge research, seeking to encourage interaction between different disciplines to address marine environment challenges from multiple perspectives, providing innovative solutions and debating the future of marine science and our oceans.
This first scientific meeting was presented as a unique opportunity to establish valuable connections with colleagues, taking advantage of an environment conducive to networking.
CIM Award
At the event, the creation of the CIM Award was announced, which will recognize the person or institution with a leading trajectory for research staff or with work that contributes advances in the research areas of CIM, both nationally and internationally.
This award aims to highlight the impact and relevance of the achievements made by the winning individual, to make their scientific contributions visible and motivate the center’s staff to continue advancing in the construction of CIM’s future under foundations supported by research capacity, youth, and interdisciplinarity. The recipient of this award will conduct the plenary session of next year’s assembly, where they will share their experience, knowledge, and achievements with the scientific community at next year’s event.
