There is a growing interest and obligations to
bring the results of scientific research closer to society. In this
sense, the Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO, CSIC) has
acquired in recent years an institutional commitment with the
scientific dissemination, carrying out some projects on this
topic. The objective of these projects is to visualize and value
their research and results in different formats increasing the
scientific culture of society that demand and financed most of
public research. In the present work four successful initiatives
or projects are presented. Diversimar project is a citizen
science tool for the observation of the marine and fishing
biodiversity of Galicia and the Cantabrian Sea. Mar interior
project brings activity of IEO to society with face-to-face
conferences and workshops. Planet Tuna project combines
science with art through an online platform to enhance the
scientific knowledge of tuna and other big pelagics for their
sustainability. To end, the interactive book “45 days on the
Flemish Cap Bank” spreads the technical and human effort of
an oceanographic survey that remains behind the fisheries
management developed by the IEO. The objective of the
present study is to make visible and put in value these projects
and serve as inspiration.Versión del edito
