Biodiv'Innov project, awardee of OCEAN's interdisciplinary call for projects
Funding from the OCEAN Institute has enabled us to launch the Biodiv'Innov project, an ambitious collaboration between various partners from Aix-Marseille University and OSU Pythéas. The project got underway in November 2022 with the recruitment of an engineer who has helped to set up a collaboration between the players to study planktonic biodiversity and its evolution as a function of environmental conditions in a context of climate change.
