Heavy rain, wind, and high waves required a continuous change of schedule, both for the sampling activities on land and sea, and for the public engagement programme. \u2018Flexibility&#8217; quickly became the motto of TREC&#8217;s first stop in Portugal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was thanks to the determination of the scientists and the invaluable support of the local partner institute \u2013 the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research of the University of Porto (CIIMAR-UP) \u2013 that Porto was not only the last superstop of the TREC expedition in 2023, but a very memorable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate the arrival of TREC in Portugal, scientists from CIIMAR, EMBL, and the Tara Ocean Foundation, as well as representatives of the Portuguese scientific community gathered for a reception on 27 October 2023. Speakers from the three organisations traced the history of the expedition, outlined its objectives, and shared their excitement for the expected outcomes. The reception was chaired by Isabel Sousa Pinto, Head of the Aquatic Biodiversity and Conservation group at CIIMAR and a member of its Board of Directors. She said: \u201cThis project is very interesting since it combines the knowledge of the marine research centres towards their local ecosystems with the systematic and standardised sampling and analysis procedures implemented by the TREC scientists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TREC stop in Porto was also an opportunity to establish new collaborations and to further strengthen the relationship with Portugal \u2013 an EMBL member state since 1998. Portuguese scientists are very active users of EMBL services and training programmes. \u201cI am very happy to see the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/programme\/\">EMBL\u2019s new Programme \u2018Molecules to Ecosystems\u2019<\/a>, and I was really thrilled to learn that the TREC expedition was going to stop in Porto,\u201d said Claudio Sunkel, head of the Molecular Genetics Group at the University of Porto and EMBL Council Delegate. \u201cCollaboration with member states is key for the implementation of EMBL\u2019s scientific Programme.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp1_IRC.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64679\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.6666666666666667;width:745px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp1_IRC.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp1_IRC-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp1_IRC-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Event organised at CIIMAR for the TREC superstop in Porto.

The program kicked off with guided tours for school groups to CIIMAR, the Tara schooner, and EMBL\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/embletc\/issue-101\/taking-science-on-the-road\/\">Advanced Mobile Laboratory<\/a>. During the weekend of 28\u201329 October, CIIMAR scientists ran a science workshop at the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto, while the travelling exhibition \u2018TREC in the City\u2019 was hosted at the Mercado do Bolh\u00e3o and Norte shopping centre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday evening, \u2018Science on Tour\u2019 at a local caf\u00e8 brought together TREC scientists with members of the public to discuss scientific topics related to the expedition. Finally, on Monday 30 October, CIIMAR opened its doors again to school students to run the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/lab-matters\/exploring-nexus-island\/\">Nexus Island workshop<\/a> and experimental activities on ocean acidification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp2_IRC.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64681\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.6666666666666667;width:748px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp2_IRC.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp2_IRC-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Comp2_IRC-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Public engagement activities in Porto.

After eight months \u2018on the road\u2019, one can\u2019t help but notice that the people involved in the project have become one big family: they share the satisfaction with the work done so far, and the reward of seeing this long-dreamed-of project turning into an exciting reality. But collectively they are ready for a short break after so many months of travelling \u2013 at sea or on land \u2013 and to start again next year even more energised!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The TREC expedition has come to the end of its first phase.
