On Friday 24^th April, MarCRF held a networking event – “Casting the Net”- to bring together marine related researchers from around Aberdeen, including from Marine Scotland Science, the University of Aberdeen, and other universities, research institutes and businesses in the area.

All participants provided profile slides which were on display throughout the event, ranging from very informative to very funny! Many participants also gave an “elevator pitch”-  a 2 minute talk on themselves, their work, or on some other marine issue close to their hearts. These were a great opportunity to sell their science or issue to the crowd, and many great discussions were had afterwards inspired by the pitches.

The event allowed researchers to meet new colleagues, and catch up with old ones, and will hopefully lead to some great new research in the future!

The event was organised by José Gonzalez-Irusta, Fiona McIntyre and Jacqui Tweddle.
