CSIC enters new research and science outreach agreements in Spain

The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has entered into two distinct agreements to advance scientific research and public engagement in different regions of Spain.

In Valencia, the CSIC and the City of Arts and Sciences have signed a general protocol to develop joint scientific outreach activities. This collaboration aims to promote research and facilitate knowledge transfer to the public, specifically targeting students and university populations. The partnership will utilize the CSIC Delegation in the Valencian Community, the CSIC House of Science in Valencia, and the Science Museum to host exhibitions, workshops, and seminars.

In Tenerife, the Cabildo de Tenerife and the CSIC, through the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), have established a 2.4 million euro agreement to promote marine research and the blue economy. The Cabildo will contribute 2 million euros between 2026 and 2030, while the CSIC will provide 400,000 euros and technical facilities. Key initiatives include the VISECAN project, which focuses on the conservation and restoration of seagrass meadows (Cymodocea nodosa), and the TALENTUM program.
