The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN) is a general marine science and technology mobilisation initiative that seeks to obtain the international socioeconomic business competitiveness derived from access to the oceanic space. PLOCAN is working in different fields as renewable energies, focused in ocean’s energy resources, oceanographic buoys and underwater vehicles.
As one of its most important areas, PLOCAN Training Program has been working in the last year with underdegree students and graduates, mainly with Spanish students.
But this summer we are carried out the MaReS Summer School, an international initiative with the collaboration of Rutgers University, University of Madeira (Madeira Tecnopolo), and with the University of Azores, with an international student exchange program.
Two of our MaReS Summer School students are now in RU-COOL helping with SILBO glider mission between Reykjavik to Las Palmas.
