Centro Tecnológico del Mar – Fundación CETMAR (Spain)
CETMAR is an inter-institutional coordination centre with an interdisciplinary integration of all marine research and technology resources, and was created to address and reinforced the connection between RTD agents and marine and maritime industries. The role of CETMAR covers education and training, scientific RTD and innovation.
