CESAM

CESAM — the Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies — is a research unit at the University of Aveiro, Portugal. Established in 2001 and recognised as an Associated Laboratory since 2005, CESAM brings together expertise across disciplines to address environmental and marine challenges through fundamental and applied research.

Its research examines environmental systems and the connections between the atmosphere, soils, rivers, coastal waters and the ocean. Guided by the One Health approach, CESAM recognises the interdependence of human, animal and environmental health. Its work supports biodiversity conservation, sustainable resource management and the well-being of ecosystems and communities.

CESAM contributes scientific knowledge to inform public policy and decision-making, addressing global change and supporting practical solutions for a more sustainable future.
