Our Marine Science Camp for teachers aims to bring together teachers and leading marine science researchers in Catalonia for an interesting interchange of ideas and information and also to share teaching and communication experiences which teachers may find useful for their schools.
The research scientists participating in the project come from a range of different disciplines related to marine science and have all set up their own communication projects regarding their research.
