international research organisations

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and the Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources (VIGMR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), on 26 September, which will develop joint training and technical programmes for knowledge transfer and research collaboration around areas of marine science affecting local and global communities.

A new project focusing on Sustainable Oceans, Livelihoods and food Security Through Increased Capacity in Ecosystem research (SOLSTICE), aims to strengthen the ability of the nine Western Indian Ocean nations to address the challenges of sustainable management of marine resources.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is to play a leading role in the largest marine science project that the European Commission has ever funded.

Scientists at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) have secured a three-year contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to carry out ‘quality control’ checks on ocean data captured by one of its satellites.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is pleased to announce a two-year partnership with the Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology (IMarEST).

Engaging with the global marine industry topped NOC’s reasons for partnering the Institute – which counts 15,000 maritime professionals from more than 100 countries among its members.
