LMI Tapioca Outreach

Tapioca is a group comprising more than100 researchers and students and aims to:
(i) enhancing the internationalization of marine science in Northeast Brazil;
(ii) filling scientific, tecnological and methodological gaps, supporting the development of innovative research in areas not yet explored in Brazil. 
In the medium term, LMI TAPIOCA aims to play a structuring role for the establishment of a Regional Centre of Excellence in Marine Sciences for the tropical Atlantic in Recife.

In addition, student training is a mainstay of the IJL TAPIOCA. For that purpose, TAPIOCA will focus on four transversal aspects: (i) encourage student co-advising and co-badging; (ii) provide capacity building on the disciplines to be developed in Axes 1 and 2; (iii) organise international multidisciplinary summer schools on Tropical Marine Science; (iv) disseminate the expertise through new educational tools.
