Research Vessel Users Workshop

The Research Vessel Operations Team at the Marine Institute are hosting a Research Vessel Users Workshop in the MI Oranmore on the 28th April, 2016.

The aim of the workshop is to give scientists across a range of disciplines the opportunity to discuss their research, and their experience on both vessels and using the ROV Holland 1.

It will also allow the research vessel operations team to highlight the capabilities of both research vessels post 2015 refits, and to gather feedback about how the service could be improved.

The meeting will commence at 09:00 and it is planned to finish at 18:00. There will be an opportunity to have a Q&A session around the talks and gather feedback from both the user and the service provider.

Please contact RV@marine.ie if you have any queries.
