About us
EMBRC a research infrastructure that accelerates marine biology and ecology research in Europe. Through a network of 80 marine sites across Europe, we provide access to marine biodiversity and ecosystems, services and expertise, to help researchers from academia and industry study the ocean's biodiversity and ecosystems to speed up discoveries and develop innovative solutions to societal issues. EMBRC fills gaps in ocean observation data through EMO BON (European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network), the first coordinated long-term genomic biodiversity observatory in Europe that studies marine life using DNA techniques. This project aims to reinforce the global ocean observation network and supports the UN Ocean Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development through the OBON programme. In the face of global environmental challenges, EMBRC promotes global science-based decision-making to support a sustainable blue economy and help tackle issues worldwide. The organisation is part of the ESFRI roadmap and operates under the legal status of a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), granted by the European Commission.

#Event2024 #IndustryEngagement I 👉 EMBRC’s Technology Webinar : Sustainable Aquaculture 🙏 Thanks to everyone who attended our recent aquaculture webinar and thank you to Vincent Vermeylen (an EMBRC Belgium researcher at the Lab of Aquaculture and Artemia Reference Center in the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent, Universiteit Gent) for his valuable insights. 👉 We’ve learned about how ARC is encompassing sustainable aquaculture practices in its lab work, from low-trophic aquaculture and wind farms in the North Sea, to land-based multi-species hatcheries, and the impact of alternative feed ingredients on shrimp performance. Thanks also to our Industrial Liaison Officer Mery Piña for moderating the session. This is the first in our series of webinars around the sustainable Blue Economy and how EMBRC supports research and innovation in this field. We hope you enjoyed this interesting talk. If you missed it, the webinar recording will be available shortly on our YouTube channel. Follow us to be notified when it goes live. We’ll be announcing more events in this series soon! #Aquaculture #MarineScienceWebinar #MarineScience #BlueEconomy EMBRC Spain EMBRC France EMBRC Greece EATIP VLIZ - Flanders Marine Institute Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences Annelies Declercq Wannes De Clercq

#Event2024 I Webinar: Sustainable Aquaculture EMBRC is launching a webinar series #EMBRCTechWebinar around how different economic sectors can contribute to a sustainable Blue Economy, moderated by our Industrial Liaison Officer Mery Piña. This first session of the EMBRC Technology Webinar will focus on sustainable aquaculture, featuring Vincent Vermeylen, an EMBRC Belgium’s scientific researcher at the Lab of Aquaculture and the Artemia Reference Center (ARC) at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, Universiteit Gent. We will discuss the critical role aquaculture plays in the broader context of the sustainable Blue Economy and explore how Research Infrastructures can support advancements in this essential sector. Particularly, we will explore these 3 innovative case studies: - Low-trophic aquaculture integrated with wind farms in the North Sea - Development of a land-based multi-species hatchery, designed to enhance food security through local production of aquatic food resources - Evaluation of alternative feed ingredients and their effects on shrimp performance Register to gain valuable insights into the future of sustainable aquaculture and its contribution to global food security and environmental sustainability #Aquaculture #MarineScienceWebinar #MarineScience #BlueEconomy EMBRC Spain EMBRC France EMBRC Greece Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR) CIIMAR Annelies Declercq Wannes De Clercq Nicolas Pade Davide Di Cioccio Kamila Sfugier Tollik Tosca Sala Alice Soccodato Christina Pavloudi EATIP AgroServ AQUASERV AQUAEXCEL3.0 EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries Landing Aquaculture BV INVE Aquaculture Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) DGAMPA - Affaires maritimes, pêche et aquaculture France Biotech

#EUproject | The new Data Analysis Challenge from EMBRC’s EU Horizon MARCO-BOLO project is now live. The challenge aims to compare different bioinformatics pipelines for eDNA analysis across the eDNA community. The researchers who have joined: ➡ Want their pipeline to be included in the MARCO-BOLO comparison ➡ Are interested to see how their pipeline performs on new data ➡ Want to contribute to better guidelines on pipeline choice ➡ Want to help create improved workflows for biodiversity monitoring Those taking part are helping to improve recommendations for eDNA metabarcoding pipeline choice and contributing towards the development of indicator workflows to report on biodiversity monitoring. Strong eDNA data analysis is vital to biodiversity observation as well as protecting and restoring ecosystems because robust data helps policymakers make well-informed, science-based decisions. 📅 If you’re taking part, remember, your analysis is due by 30 September 2024 🔗 For more info: https://swll.to/1cL0f5M #MARCOBOLO #DataAnalysisChallenge VLIZ - Flanders Marine Institute LifeWatch ERIC UNESCO Göteborgs universitet GeoEcoMar CNRS CIIMAR ERINN Innovation Sorbonne Universit� National Oceanography Centre
