What does this renewal entail?

The renewal of our website and visual identity goes far beyond an aesthetic change. It is an opportunity to optimize how we communicate and connect with our users and stakeholders. For an institution like ours, which plays a key role in advancing research and observation of the Mediterranean, having a modern and functional platform is essential. This new space reflects the quality and relevance of our work and facilitates access to scientific information and the services we offer as a Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS).
 

Through our new website, all users and institutions will be able to interact more easily, access calls for proposals, request access to scientific facilities and services, and stay up to date with our latest activities, publications, and resources. Additionally, they will be able to access all public institutional information through our Transparency Portal, reaffirming our commitment to institutional transparency.

 

What will you find on our new website?

 

Access to our facilities and services

We offer competitive open access to cutting-edge scientific facilities, such as our Glider Fleet, the Research Vessel R/V SOCIB, and the outstanding facility SOCIB Meteocean Data Repository. This revamped space will allow you to easily learn about and request access to these facilities, with all the information on open calls presented clearly and accessible.

 

Mediterranean observing and forecasting

We continuously monitor the Mediterranean through a multiplatform network that includes various oceanographic installations and platforms. On our website, you will be able to explore prediction models such as WMOP, SAPO, and BRIFS.
