Would you be interested to participate in any of them, please register and satisfy the due amount*.
* To cover organization and consumable costs, and those from personnel involved in the course preparation and development.
All the information on the courses and registration below:
MICROPLASTIC IDENTIFICATION BY FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (FT-IR)

Scientific writing
Connected to: ISMS, SIQUIMAR, BAMA and REMAR.
Addressed to: junior researchers interested in improving their scientific writing skills
Posts: 20.
Date and schedule: 30 of June 2020, 10-13 h and 15-18 h.
Place: Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM), Passeig Marítim de la Barceloneta, 37-49, 08003 Barcelona.
Name and affiliation of the course coordinators: Josep Lluís Pelegrí and Pedro Elósegui (ICM).
Short program: to become a successful scientist, it is not enough to have a good theoretical background and to learn innovative technical skills. It is equally necessary to develop good writing skills so that you can efficiently communicate your ideas and results. Your articles and proposals need to be attractive and informative so that they get read and cited. In this short course we will review some of the fundamentals for writing more effectively. We will cover the essentials of scientific writing style, including the basic elements on how to plan, draft and write the final version of your paper.
Cost: 15€.
Proof of attendance: participants will receive an attendance certificate.
Systematic conservation planning: an introduction of the use of “MARXAN” tools in marine environments
Connected to: REMAR.
Addressed to: researchers and students interested in marine spatial conservation planning by implementing networks of protected or management areas.
Posts: 10.
Date and schedule: 30 of June 2020, 10-13 h and 15-18 h.
Place: Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM), Passeig Marítim de la Barceloneta, 37-49, 08003 Barcelona.
Name and affiliation of the course coordinator: Virgilio Hermoso (Centre de Ciència i Tecnologia Forestal de Catalunya, CTFC).
Names and affiliation of other collaborators: Joan Navarro (ICM).
Short program: the course will focus on introducing systematic conservation planning and demonstrating how to use Marxan to the design of networks Protected Areas under this approach. Marxan is a widely used spatial planning tool to help decision-making in a transparent and objective way. The course will pay especial attention to the application of Marxan to the design of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with emphasis on connectivity issues.
Cost: 15€.
Proof of attendance: participants will receive an attendance certificate.
