Welcome to the first International Summer School on Systems Biology (ISSSB 2022) that will take place at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples, from October 10th to 14th 2022.
The school is intended for PhD students and early career researchers interested in a systems biology approach to ocean studies. Oceans represent a perfect example of a holistic system made of interconnected entities, both as species and as niches. Understanding how their interactions will results in its health and equilibrium require an interdisciplinary approach, from different scientific areas and technological, experimental and informatic skills. The aim of the school is to provide participants basic and advanced knowledge on Biodiversity, Ecological interactions, Evolutionary Genomics and Omic disciplines, to be used as an integrated approach for EcoEvoDevo studies and Biotech Applications in ocean studies. The five days programme of the school will combine theoretical and practical lectures on different marine organisms, research topics and technological tools, following the original path of the founder, Anton Dohrn, who conceived the SZN as an integrated network of scientists and disciplines. Social events will include visit to the SZN Aquarium, the Darwin-Dohrn Museum (DaDoM) and the city of Naples.
Admission to the course will be evaluated by the scientific committee based on the preliminary knowledge and motivation of applicants.

The institutional interdepartmental centre of Rome, located in Via Gregorio Allegri 1, is a seat of Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, established on November 16th 2018, with approval (n.2) of the board of directors.
The seat has a strategic positioning with respect to the location of other Ministries, University and Research Centres; in particular, the office is close to the Ministry of University and Research, National Research Council, University of Rome “La Sapienza” and other relevant institutions.
Initiatives
The Seat of Rome:
a) promotes collaborations with enterprises and other institutions for developing knowledge in marine science and its application for different scopes;
b) contributes to developing and promoting the economic, social and cultural progress of the Country by establishing industrial collaboration, spin-off, patent, scientific divulgation and education;
c) conducts supporting activities and strategic consulting for the development of future projects on basic and applied research on the territory of Lazio;
d) promotes the professional and technical growth of researchers with masters, degree courses and PhD based on agreements with Italian and international universities and enterprises;
e) promotes and realizes the dissemination of scientific culture and knowledge of the marine environment through public engagement and outreach activities;
f) collaborates with the Lazio Region, the Municipality of Rome, and other local administrations in promoting the development of joint research initiatives to enhance the territory and its environmental and productive resources;
g) carries out on-request consulting and technical-scientific evaluation activities for Public Administrations, enterprises and other private subjects.

Greetings from the International Summer School on “Marine Ecotoxicology”.
We would like to introduce the upcoming 2nd edition of the International Summer School on Marine Ecotoxicology (SSME 2022), which will take place at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn from September 12th to 16th 2022 in the city of Naples.
This course is designed for biologists with basic knowledge in ecotoxicology providing advanced training on different environmental stressors and how biological systems are affected and respond to these contaminants at all biological levels, as well as methods and approaches for investigating their impact on marine biota. The course program integrates theoretical lectures with practical sessions, which will include standardized and innovative ecotoxicity tests for the assessment of the potential of marine environmental stressors to cause environmental damage to marine organisms.
Attending the SSME at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Naples, you will have the benefit of enjoying an exciting experience in a highly stimulating research environment in one of the largest and most beautiful art cities on the Mediterranean Sea.
The number of participants will be limited to 20. Admission to the course will be evaluated by the scientific committee based on the preliminary knowledge of applicants.
Detailed information on the program of the course and the online registration form for the SSME 2022 are available at the following link:

We look forward to welcoming you in Naples!
Please do not hesitate to contact us at ssme1@szn.it if you need any further assistance.
The SSME scientific committee
An International Summer School on “Blue Biotechnology” will be held at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn of Naples in 2022, from September 21st to 23rd.
The school will be dedicated to PhD students and early career researchers working in the field of blue biotechnology. The three days of summer school will be focused on current interdisciplinary approaches used to disclose biotechnological potential of marine resources and their use for eco-sustainable production of molecules and processes with beneficial effects on human and environment health. A combination of lectures, short communications, practical afternoon sections and visits to laboratories of a local marine biotechnology company will create a stimulating environment for participants. Evenings are always reserved for social events in Naples, which can increase exchange of ideas among participants and create new long-lasting collaborations.

PIANO STRALCIO RICERCA E INNOVAZIONE 2015-2017
“PNIR - Programma Nazionale Infrastrutture di Ricerca”
(Avviso D.D. n 2595 del 24-12-19)
Strengthening of the Human Capital of the Research Infrastructures
Title: Research and marine infrastructure strengthening (EMBRC-IT) – Strengthening of the Human Capital
Acronym: PRIMA
Code: CIR01_00029
Research infrastructure targeted by the project: EMBRC - European Marine Biological Resource Centre
Abstract
The main objective of the project is to complete and enhance the infrastructural strengthening realized through the PON PRIMA - with which the Italian node of the European research infrastructure EMBRC, coordinated by the SZN, has obtained a funding aimed at making the infrastructure the most important HUB for marine scientific and technological research at European level - through the strengthening of the corresponding human capital.
This refers not only to researchers and technologists dedicated to the realization of the technical-scientific activities of the enhanced infrastructure, but also to the support to the development and management of governance and to the promotion and strengthening of collaboration networks between infrastructures, at national and European level.
In this way, it will be also possible to respond to the ever-increasing demand for research personnel and expand the critical mass that will be able to develop and use RIs, increasing the positive impact both in terms of research and innovation and, subsequently, of employment and development of the country.
