As part of its mission to train the next generation of scientists and high level technicians interested in marine and insular ecosystems, IMEDEA hosts students in the SUmmer Research Internship program (SURI). The program provides an opportunity for talented undergraduate and graduate university students to collaborate in science research programs, providing meaningful experiential learning opportunities that support IMEDEA’s research and inspire ocean literacy for the next generation. The program features 4 to 12 weeks of hands on learning experience providing the students an experiential opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge in a vast spectrum of topics including oceanography, marine technologies, biogeochemistry, biology and ecology. SURI students gain valuable, interdisciplinary experience collaborating on field work, lab experiments and/or computational projects which enable them to increase their competitiveness for educational and career opportunities.

2023 Program Dates: June – September, 2023

Project 10: Nuevas tecnologías para evaluar el estado ecológico de los fondos de maërl, estudiando las repercusiones de las actividades humanas, y explorando escenarios óptimos de conservación. Undergraduate student. Period: May-December. Responsible: Silvia de Juan (silvia.dejuan@csic.es)

Project 11: Exploring between-fish variability in bionergetic strategies of seabass. Summary: Bioenergetics refers to the energy flow through living organisms. The waste-to-hurry hypothesis suggests that small animals tend to have higher maintenance costs and higher assimilation rates, while other animals adopt thrifty but more resilient strategies. This proposal will investigate the astonishing individual differences in bioenergetic strategies observed among cultured seabass that have been closely monitored throughout their life at LIMIA facilities in Port d’Andratx. The research will involve laboratory experiments such as calorimetries, and data analyses. The schedule for the study can be adjusted based on the student’s preferences. Undergraduate student.
