Knowledge Transfer
The ICTS SOCIB transfers knowledge through the development of applications and the provision of expert advisory services, training, scientific communication, and the promotion of ocean culture. To achieve this, it establishes bidirectional and continuous cooperation links between science, public administration, the business sector, the educational community, and citizens in general.
The knowledge gained through the scientific and technical activity of the ICTS SOCIB over the last 15 years, in addition to access to its own metocean data sources and those of other international institutions, allows the ICTS SOCIB to design digital tools and provide services aimed at users and strategic sectors. The main goal of these tools and services is to facilitate decision-making and promote marine and coastal management based on scientific evidence.

Education, engagement, and ocean literacy
Digital Applications in support of decision-making
The ICTS SOCIB provides a catalog of 16 applications that offer relevant information about the Mediterranean, its coasts, and its beaches. Additionally, these applications support public administrations, the scientific community, and stakeholders in the decision-making process.
BEAMON Viewer
Real-time data and images from beaches
In Situ TAC Dashboard
A web application developed for Copernicus ensuring consistent and reliable access to in situ data
HOORT
An application developed for HFRadar EuroGOOS Task Team for reporting and managing HFRadar incidents
Services for accessing metocean data, scientific facilities, oceanographic instrumentation, and expert advice
As a Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS), SOCIB offers Competitive Open Access to the outstanding facility SOCIB Metocean Data Repository (permanent call), as well as to the Research Vessel (V/O SOCIB) and the Glider Fleet. Additionally, it provides comprehensive expert advisory services (studies, reports, etc.), fleet, and instrumentation, offering support from the initial analysis to operation.
Highlighted Expert Consultations
The ICTS SOCIB collaborates with public and private institutions to provide methodologies and tools aimed at preserving the environment and ensuring the well-being of the citizens of the Balearic Islands, advocating for sustainable development based on scientific knowledge.
ICTS SOCIB Collaboration Networks
The ICTS SOCIB promotes knowledge transfer and innovation in the marine and coastal domain through synergies with universities, research centers, and public and private entities at regional, national, and international levels. Since its inception, it has collaborated with over 120 institutions, consolidating a strategic network that enhances the development and application of scientific knowledge. These alliances strengthen SOCIB’s capacity to share infrastructure, tools, and advanced methodologies, ensuring a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to research and knowledge transfer.
