Large Equipments
The research activities conducted at the SZN require the use of sophisticated technologies and advanced equipment. The SZN has the resources to obtain and process data, to develop specific marine infrastructures and for the maintenance of the organisms used for experimental and scientific research.
Continuous technological and methodological innovation is needed to ensure adequate competitiveness on an international level. For this reason, all laboratories and their equipment are upgraded and developed within the SZN infrastructures.
Given the significance of the investment required beyond the capability of the individual areas and the synergy seen between the research activities conducted by the different laboratories of SZN, the main research instruments are now centralized in order to optimize the use of financial and human resources available.
The instrumentation of SZN have often unique features in the scientific context and are accessible not only to the researchers of the SZN, but to the entire international scientific community, through collaborations and scientific exchanges or through the infrastructure model and access now consolidated, for example, for the ASSEMBLE project that played a preparatory role to the EMBRC project.
EMSO
EMSO is another distributed European infrastructure with the aim of monitoring environmental phenomena relevant to the understanding of the complex interactions between the geosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, with particular reference to the deep environments.
The SZN is partner of the Joint Research Unit (JRU EMSO), sharing expertise, databases and resources with other partners to promote the training and joint research and technology transfer in this area of marine science.
The years 2015-2025 will be crucial to develop the next generation of marine observers and in particular to work with the new technologies of the Tyrrhenian Sea (the only sea entirely Italian) and the Gulf of Naples.
Material collection and diving
| Description |
The IRM unit deals with the collection of material to be used for both research and outreach activities. The material collection is carried out in different coastal environments, including port areas and lagoons, using adequate gathering instruments or by scuba diving. The described activities are carried out on the basis of extensive experience and knowledge of plant or animal species required, of their habitats and distribution (on a local scale) and of their reproductive cycle, which is updated through information gathering and exploratory surveys. Sampling sites and collection methods are selected so as to ensure high quality standard of products. Scuba diving activities (related to the installation and maintenance of submerged structures and equipment) are carried out. In addition, the IRM Unit provides support to activities aimed at the recovery, transportation and release of marine animals. |

Stazione Zoologica and Schools
The Stazione Zoologica is internationally renowned for the expertise and the results of research in the marine environment and has always seen the public involvement as crucial. The research conducted at the SZN addresses the most important social challenges involving the sea. The primary objective of the activities SZN in the future will be to raise public awareness with the aim of improving the connection between science and citizens.
Researchers will have to make citizens understand what is happening in their laboratories and to keep them informed on the results of research and ongoing projects. With dedicated programs for training, the SZN improves the educational process of children of primary and secondary classes and increases their interest in science and technology, so they can become the researchers of tomorrow, and contribute to a science-literate society.
