Within Norway, CCR collaborates with:
- The University of Oslo
- The Institute of Marine Research (IMR)
- GRID-Arendal
- The Norwegian Institute of Water Research (NIVA)
- The regional county and its municipalities
Our mission
The overall goal of CCR is to represent a platform for
- Strengthening the quality of education at UiA
- Performing basic curiosity-driven science on marine biology in Coastal Skagerrak, also to support priorities within the collaborating institutions.
Our Vision
The research activities of CCR are primarily, albeit not exclusively, focused on the Skagerrak and neighboring marine waters, most of which are surrounded by a major fraction of the Scandinavian population. These seas provide a unique "natural laboratory" to assess the effects of human and environmental impact on coastal living resources. Although the centre fosters primarily long-term, discovery-oriented research, applied and innovative activities and programmes are encouraged.
