Connecting Field work and Laboratory experiments to numerical Modelling in a changing marine environment (FILAMO)

The ability to communicate, collaborate and work successfully within the interdisciplinary field of marine science requires the integration of field work and laboratory experiments with numerical modelling. To achieve this, marine and maritime educational programs need to develop candidates with broader skills and competencies, including the ability to understand models and simulations which are important tools for policy development and management. FILAMO aims is to strengthen communication and collaboration within the interdisciplinary field of marine science by integration of field work and laboratory experiments with numerical modelling approaches. The project will provide candidates with broader skills and competencies, including the ability to understand models and simulations. FILAMO is an international network combining research, research training and higher education by organizing workshops, summer schools and providing funding student exchange and researcher mobility for marine scientists interested in working beyond their own methodological field.
