On May 13th, CIIMAR opens doors to university students who want to start their scientific careers.
On May 13, 2025, CIIMAR will launch its first open day exclusively dedicated to university students.
The event will take place at the center’s headquarters, located in the cruise terminal building at the Port of Leixões, and aims to establish a direct link between students and the world of scientific research in the areas of the sea and the environment.
What can you expect?
Throughout the day, the research center will welcome students with activities organized especially for those who wish to invest their future in science. CIIMAR researchers will be on hand to accompany the participants, share their projects and show them the daily life of scientific research.
From mini lectures that will give a glimpse of current projects, workshops related to scientific careers, visits inside the laboratories, a science fair aimed at students and speed dating events with scientists from the research center, the open day will be packed with experiences aimed at the curiosity of those who are about to start their career in science.
Students will also be able to visit CIIMAR’s ex-libris, such as the CIIMAR LEGE-CC collection of microalgae and cyanobacteria.
Registrations and program
The activities will be divided into two periods: one in the morning (9am-12pm) and one in the afternoon (2pm-5pm), in order to provide an organized, diversified program adapted to the interests of the participants.
Participation is free, but requires prior registration through this link. More information and updates on the program can be found on the CIIMAR event page.
