The work of the Marine Institute has seen significant collaborations with industry and other research centres and universities in Ireland, Europe and international stakeholders.

The Marine Institute has been selected as a finalist in the SEAI Energy Awards 2025, recognising a decade of sustainability action at the Marine Institute. From transitioning research vessels to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), to powering offices and research facilities with on-site solar energy and achieving top-tier My Green Lab sustainability accreditation for six laboratories, the Marine Institute is leading climate action by example. 

This week, as part of the Marine Institute's Science Week celebration, four laboratory professionals reveal how their daily work ensures Irish seafood remains among the safest available worldwide.

Throughout November, the Marine Institute’s ‘Ocean of Careers’ video series will showcase the diverse careers that support Ireland's marine environment and blue economy. Aligned with Science Week's national theme “Then. Today. Tomorrow,” the campaign will also explore how marine science has evolved. 

This Science Week, the Marine Institute is sharing the work of three professionals who observe and monitor changes in Ireland’s ocean.

Ireland's transformation from a small-scale fishing nation to a sustainable seafood exporter has been built on collaboration between fisheries and scientists, between traditional knowledge and modern methods, between communities and conservation.

The Marine Institute and the Explorers Education Programme will showcase marine science at the 2025 Galway Science and Technology Festival. Families are invited to the Bailey Allen Hall at the University of Galway on Sunday 9th November from 10am to 5pm to learn more about phytoplankton species.

The Marine Institute is marking Science Week 2025 with the 'Oceans of Careers' month-long campaign featuring a new animated video series profiling 14 Marine Institute professionals whose work spans across several fields.
