Steve Groom and Vanda Brotas invited to talk on a side-event of the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, co-organized by the British Embassy in Lisbon

The debate included a panel of experts in marine research together with an audience of stakeholders, discussing key topics to foster scientific collaboration between Portugal and the UK, including the transfer of data, joint use of scientific platforms, researchers’ mobility and capacity building, and advance training.

PRIMUS Outreach : Vanda Brotas was featured on the podcast Azul, to talk about her books that teach us to how to look at nature

PRIMUS member Vanda Brotas was the first guest featured on the new podcast Azul (Blue), to talk about science, phytoplankton, and the children books that she wrote to combine adventures with the dissemination of science, including the important role of satellite observation towards understanding and protecting the ocean.
