Swedish universities will now be a part of European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC; www.embrc.eu), a 'research infrastructure' that provides researchers and companies with access to marine organisms and the facilities to study them, including experimental facilities and technological platforms.

EMBRC enables researchers to better understand their impact on the oceans and ensure the sustainable use of marine resources.

The kickoff meeting for the Swedish contingent of EMBRC will be held in April at Linnaeus University.
