Mensagem da Direção

O CIIMAR teve em 2014 um ano

pleno de atividades e de grandes

desafios, com o processo de avaliação e

financiamento das unidades para o

período 2015-2020, as oportunidades

de candidaturas para novos projetos do

Horizonte 2020 e das EEA Grants, o

concluir das obras do novo terminal de

cruzeiros do porto de Leixões onde

ficará a sede do CIIMAR. Os projectos

financiados pelo ON2 – ECORISK,

AQUAIMPROV, MARBIOTECH e

MARECON.PT vieram trazer algum

oxigénio, permitindo reforçar os

recursos humanos de pós-

doutoramento e técnicos, contrariando

a escassez de bolsas da FCT. Vieram

também fomentar a colaboração intra-

instituicional o que trouxe mais

publicações e orientações conjuntas.

Submetemos em 2014 à A3Es uma

proposta de programa doutoral em

Biotecnologia Marinha e Aquacultura,

integrando a Universidade do Porto e a

Universidade do Minho. Em 2015

esperamos finalmente mudar para as

novas instalações no terminal de

cruzeiros no porto de Leixões, o que

permitirá não só realizarmos o desejo

de estar junto ao mar, como potenciará

sinergias com outros atores

importantes ligados ao mar como a

APDL, IPMA, DOCAPESCA, UPTEC-MAR,

Conserveiras, Marisqueiras entre

outros.

Em 2014 o CIIMAR viu

aprovadas duas candidaturas ao roteiro

das infrastruturas da FCT, sendo parte

integrante do EMBRC.PT (European

Marine Biological Resource Centre) e

do EMSO.PT (European

Multidisciplinary Seafloor and Water

Column Observatory). O financiamento

deverá ser objeto de concurso durante

2015.

O CIIMAR continuará a ser a

referência da área do MAR na UPorto e

manterá a sua política de interação com

todas as unidades orgânicas e centros

de investigação da UPorto, reforçando a

marca MAR na nossa universidade.

1. Caraterização e Objectivos do

CIIMAR

O CIIMAR é um centro de

investigação integrante do CIMAR –

Laboratório Associado, que agrega também

o CCMAR – Centro de Ciências do Mar da

Universidade do Algarve. O CIIMAR, para

além do núcleo baseado na Universidade

do Porto, possui ainda duas unidades, uma

nos Açores e outra na Madeira, ambos com

personalidade jurídica (CIIMAR-Madeira e

CIIMAR-Açores) e três grupos do IPMA-

Lisboa. Na UPorto além da sede o CIIMAR

possui grupos de investigação em cinco

unidades orgânicas: Instituto de Ciências

Biomédicas Abel Salazar, Faculdades de

Ciências, Engenharia, Farmácia e Direito.

O CIIMAR contribui para uma

abordagem “Azul” da exploração dos

recursos marinhos com o fomento à

Investigação e Desenvolvimento

promovendo uma abordagem multi e

interdisciplinar tendo em conta os vários

aspectos do Oceano e da investigação

costeira. O CIIMAR tem como objetivo

investigar as ligações entre os processos

biológicos, químicos e físicos, contribuindo

para a compreensão do Oceano e

funcionamento dos seus ecossistemas,

bem como as respostas dos ecossistemas

às mudanças globais.

Missão

O CIIMAR é uma instituição de

investigação científica e de formação

avançada da Universidade do Porto. Tem

como missão o desenvolvimento de

investigação de excelência, a promoção do

desenvolvimento tecnológico e o apoio a

políticas públicas na área das Ciências do

Mar e Ambiente.

Visão

“O conhecimento do Oceano como

base para a gestão e exploração

sustentável dos recursos”.

2. Estrutura Científica e Linhas

Temáticas

Portugal tem a maior ZEE da União

Europeia, em particular considerando a

projetada extensão da plataforma

continental. A gestão e exploração

sustentável deste recurso implicam riscos,

mas também numerosas oportunidades

ainda não exploradas. Mais de 1/3 da

população mundial vive em zonas

costeiras, dependendo também dos seus

recursos e serviços. No entanto, os

recursos marítimos e costeiros estão cada

vez mais ameaçados pelas alterações

climáticas e o crescente aumento da

população humana. Atividades como o

transporte marítimo, a utilização intensiva

do solo, sobrepesca, lixo marinho, a

invasão de espécies não-nativas, poluição,

erosão costeira e degradação do habitat

são ameaças à sustentabilidade. Em

contraste, os usos futuros do Oceano

trarão oportunidades valiosas em áreas

como a da Aquacultura, Biotecnologia

Marinha, Energia Renovável, exploração do

leito marinho e Turismo. O "Plano de Ação

Atlântico" proposto pela Comissão

Europeia salienta o impacto sócio-

económico esperado destas atividades. As

prioridades do Horizonte 2020 em

particular dos Desafios Societais 2 e 5 serão

os motores chave do conhecimento e

economia relacionada com a investigação

marinha.

Neste contexto, o ano de 2013

assistiu a uma renovação e reorganização

profunda das linhas temáticas de

investigação do Centro. Este processo

coincide com a entrada em funções de

novos corpos sociais e também como

resultado da reorientação estratégica

visando a candidatura ao concurso das

unidades de I&D da FCT. Em particular, o

processo de reorganização incorporou

claramente as temáticas dos Desafios

Societais do Horizonte 2020, estabelecendo

uma ligação estreita entre investigação e

inovação.

A investigação do Centro está

organizada em três linhas temáticas:

Mudanças Globais e Serviços dos

Ecossistemas (Global Changes and

Ecosystems Services), Biologia, Aquacultura

e Qualidade dos Alimentos de Origem

Aquática (Biology, Aquaculture and

Seafood Quality) e Biotecnologia Marinha

(Marine Biotechnology), coordenadas

respetivamente pelos colegas Carlos Vale,

Luísa Valente e Vitor Vasconcelos.

Linhas Científicas Temáticas do CIIMAR 2014.

A subdivisão em grupos alocados a

cada linha temática foi alvo de alterações

ao longo de 2014, visando nomeadamente

o processo de candidatura do Centro ao

programa de Unidades I&D da FCT. No final

de 2014 o CIIMAR encontra-se organizado

em 10 grupos de investigação, que incluem

um total de 27 equipas. O aumento face ao

passado recente resulta por um lado da

formação de novos grupos com origem em

investigadores do Centro, e também da

entrada de novos membros

nomeadamente do Instituto Português do

Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) e da Faculdade

de Farmácia da Universidade do Porto

(FFUP). Este processo permitiu a

incorporação de novas valências científicas

claramente em linha com os novos

objetivos do centro.

3. Equipa de Investigação

O conjunto dos recursos humanos

do CIIMAR é constituído por cerca de 400

membros, incluindo investigadores e

pessoal técnico e administrativo.

O corpo de doutorados representa

uma fração significativa dos recursos

humanos do centro, com cerca de 41% do

total. Relativamente aos membros não

doutorados, cerca de 65% são estudantes

envolvidos em programas de formação

avançada. O CIIMAR acolhe investigadores

de 28 nacionalidades distintas.

4. Atividade de I&DT

Programa Integrado de IC&DT

Em 2011, o CIIMAR apresentou

uma candidatura ao ON.2 – Programa

Operacional do Norte (SAESCTN-

PIIC&DT/1/2011) nos termos do

Regulamento Específico Sistema de Apoio a

Entidades do Sistema Científico e

Tecnológico, para financiamento de um

programa integrado de Investigação

Cientifica e Desenvolvimento Tecnológico

(PIIC&DT). A proposta denominada por

MARVALOR - Building research and

innovation capacity for improved

management and valorization of marine

resources, visa a capacitação de

investigação e inovação para melhorar a

gestão e valorização dos recursos

marinhos, apoiando a economia do mar

em Portugal e particularmente na região

Norte. A candidatura integra três projetos

estratégicos que cobrem as principais

linhas de investigação do CIIMAR, e um

projeto transversal que visa maximizar o

potencial económico e social da

investigação, a ser realizado em estreita

parceria com a Universidade do Porto

Inovação.

Os três projetos estratégicos foram

positivamente avaliados e recomendados

para financiamento. Os projetos foram

contratualizados no 1º trimestre de 2013,

com um investimento total de 2,45 milhões

de Euros, dos quais 1,9 milhões de Euros

de financiamento FEDER. O período de

execução é de 1 de Janeiro de 2013 a 30 de

Junho de 2015 (30 meses). O projeto

transversal foi contratualizado no 1º

trimestre de 2014, com um período de

execução de 1 de Janeiro de 2014 a 30 de

Em 2014, foram aprovados dois

novos projetos de literacia dos

Oceanos (Biodiversidade do nosso

Mar; Poluição do oceano: Ameaça

global, ação local), financiados ao

abrigo do Programa PT02 – Gestão

Integrada das Águas Marinhas e

Costeiras das EEA Grants. Os

projetos têm como objetivo elevar

a consciência e o conhecimento

sobre questões marinhas através

de ações de sensibilização e de

formação no domínio da gestão

marinha integrada e dar apoio à

Direção-Geral da Política do Mar

(DGPM) na implementação da

Directiva-Quadro da Estratégia

marinha (DQEM).

- “MoBIDiC – Escola na Praia”,

financiado pela Ciência Viva, um

programa de Monitorização da

Biodiversidade Intertidal e

Divulgação Científica que visa a

recolha de dados de vida marinha

nas praias rochosas do Norte de

Portugal

(http://www.estgm.ipb.pt/~projig/

chegar a público-alvo distintos, de modo a

desenvolver o espírito-crítico dos

participantes, com o objetivo de despertar

para as problemáticas ambientais, tanto no

espaço onde os nossos visitantes se

inserem, como a nível global, capacitando-

os para compreender e superar as suas

limitações e possibilidades de acção. Desta

forma e no ano de 2014, estiveram

patentes no CMIA de Vila do Conde três

exposições: “Desertos: A vida no limite!”

(inaugurada em 2013), “Poluição dos

Mares: A herança da Humanidade?” e

“Anfíbios: uma pata na água, outra na

terra”. Decorreram ao longo de todo ano

inúmeras atividades (nomeadamente

palestras, semanas temáticas, oficinas,

percursos exploratórios, jogos lúdico-

pedagógicos e exposições itinerantes),

envolvendo diversas instituições dentro e

fora do concelho num total de 17214

participantes. O CMIA de Vila do Conde

esteve ainda envolvido na formação

profissional e académica, recebendo um

total de 8 estagiários, alunos de cursos de

formação profissional e de licenciatura.

CMIA de Matosinhos

Durante o ano de 2014, estiveram

patentes no CMIA de Matosinhos duas

exposições itinerantes: "Viagem ao Mar

Profundo", exposição cedida pelo CMIA de

Vila do Conde, e " A Poluição não é a nossa

Praia". Para cada exposição foram

realizadas atividades lúdico-pedagógicas

sobre o tema apresentado, que serviram

de complemento às visitas guiadas às

exposições. Em simultâneo com estas

exposições foram realizadas palestras,

oficinas e diversas atividades educativas

regulares em ambiente laboratorial e de

campo para público escolar de diferentes

níveis etários, envolvendo no total 12

17

instituições e 1535 participantes. O Cmia

de Matosinhos participou no evento

mundial OSD (Ocean Sampling Day); no

programa educativo da Ciência Viva no

Verão e também, no projeto "Embaixada

da Água", iniciativa do CRE do Porto como

embaixadores da água. O CMIA de

Matosinhos esteve ainda envolvido na

formação profissional e académica,

acolhendo 3 estagiários e 2 voluntários,

inseridos no programa de colaboração de

acolhimento de voluntários com a CMM.

Por motivo de obras e mudança de

instalações o CMIA de Matosinhos esteve

encerrado ao público de agosto a

dezembro de 2014.

Blue Young Talent

Em Em 2014, o CIIMAR lançou o

programa BYT – Blue Young Talent, um

programa pré-graduado de captação de

talentos na área das ciências e

biotecnologias marinhas e ambientais, em

parceria com a indústria e PMEs. Este

programa remunerado tem como objetivo

proporcionar aos melhores alunos do

primeiro ciclo da Universidade do Porto

uma formação pré graduada em ambiente

científico de excelência. Na 1ª edição,

foram selecionados 6 estudantes de

diferentes cursos da Universidade do Porto,

que tiveram a oportunidade de integrar

equipas de investigação do CIIMAR onde

20

desenvolveram trabalho científico durante

10 meses nas áreas da biotecnologia

marinha, biologia molecular, ecologia,

aquacultura e nutrição. O programa BYT

2014/2015 contemplou ainda um plano de

formação integrador envolvendo os jovens

BYTs em atividades técnico-científicas, de

empreendedorismo na área do Mar bem

como de divulgação de ciência.

Redes Temáticas

Um dos objetivos do CIIMAR passa

pela internacionalização das suas

atividades de investigação e

desenvolvimento tecnológico. Este objetivo

tem sido alcançado através de um número

crescente de colaborações

(nomeadamente com instituições

europeias, dos USA, do Brasil e da

Tailândia) e projetos em conjunto com

instituições internacionais de reconhecido

prestígio, assim como pela participação em

redes e plataformas internacionais.

Marine Board - European Science

Foundation

O CIIMAR mantém um

envolvimento ativo na integração e no

desenvolvimento das Ciências Marinhas na

EU. Através do LA integra o Marine Board

da European Science Foundation, uma rede

que visa facilitar uma maior coordenação

entre as principais organizações europeias

(conselhos de investigação, agências de

Transferência de Tecnologia

Durante o ano de 2013, com o

objectivo de reforçar a capacidade do

centro para contribuir ativamente na

dinamização da Economia do Mar, e fazer

face aos desafios societais e ao plano

estratégico de desenvolvimento da região

norte, o CIIMAR esteve na génese da

plataforma de serviços e inovação -

Marinnova (www.marinnova.pt).

A Marinnova apresenta um forte

compromisso com a Indústria, Institutos de

Investigação e Instituições Públicas na

implementação de projetos inovadores

nacionais e internacionais com o objectivo

de fomentar a transferência de tecnologia

e os desenvolvimentos no campo das

Ciências Marinhas e Ambientais e

Tecnologias. Esta plataforma de serviços

vem de encontro às necessidades que

sentimos em operacionalizar a crescente

solicitação em áreas aplicadas, permitindo

a valorização e estímulo à inovação ao

mesmo tempo que potencia os serviços

desenvolvidos pelos investigadores do

CIIMAR. No futuro próximo, é esperado

que possa também potenciar a

participação do CIIMAR em consórcios

internacionais. A sua implementação foi

possível através do contributo dos

diferentes grupos do CIIMAR. Durante o

ano de 2014, assistiu-se a um aumento dos

serviços prestados, em particular para fora

do universo UP/CIIMAR.

O CIIMAR é parceiro no projeto de

criação do Pólo do Mar do Parque de

Ciência e Tecnologia da Universidade do

Porto, um dos projetos âncora identificado

no programa de ação do cluster, que

pretende promover a I&DT marinha e

marítima, a transferência de tecnologia, o

empreendedorismo de base tecnológica e

o acolhimento empresarial.

Em 2014, o CIIMAR esteve

representado no Fórum do Mar (28-30 de

maio, Leça da Palmeira) e na BioMarine

International Business Convention (30-31

de outubro, Cascais).

Suporte a Políticas Públicas

O CIIMAR está fortemente

envolvido na implementação da Directiva

Quadro da Estratégia Marinha (DQEM) em

Portugal, tendo sido convidado pela

entidade coordenadora, a Direção-Geral de

Recursos Naturais Segurança e Serviços

Marítimos (DGRM), a integrar vários

grupos de trabalho com vista à elaboração

do plano de monitorização e plano de

medidas relativo ao período 2015-2020. O

plano de Monitorização e medidas para a

subdivisao Continente foi submetido por

Portugal em julho de 2014, estando

previsto para breve a sua implementação,

que contará com o envolvimento de várias

equipas do CIIMAR.

Ainda relacionado com a

implementação da DQEM, o CIIMAR é

coordenador e/ou parceiro de vários

projetos financiados pelas EEA Grants ao

23

abrigo do Programa “PT02 - Gestão

Integrada das Águas Marinhas e Costeiras",

operado pela Direção-Geral de Poliítica do

Mar (DGPM). Na área da educação e

formação, destaca-se o projeto BioMar.PT -

Aprender a conhecer o ambiente marinho

de Portugal. Este projecto, coordenado

pelo IPMA e com a participação da EMEPC,

tem como objetivo contribuir para

qualificar recursos humanos através de

ações em áreas científicas e tecnológicas

prioritárias à gestão sustentável das águas

marinhas.

No âmbito de projetos de

colaboração territorial, o CIIMAR colabora

ainda com diversas entidades regionais e

nacionais tais como a DGAM – Direção

Geral da Autoridade Marítima, que

pretendem garantir a segurança marítima,

a qualidade ambiental e saúde pública.

A nível internacional, Isabel Sousa-

Pinto é ponto focal e chefe da delegação

nacional no IPBES - Intergovernmental

Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and

Ecosystem Services.

Vitor Vasconcelos é membro do

Conselho Científico das Ciências Naturais e

do Ambiente da FCT.

5. Financiamento

Em 2014, o financiamento total

obtido pelo CIIMAR foi de 4.3 milhões de

Euros. O montante de financiamento

obtido via programas nacionais e

internacionais foi de 3.8 milhões de Euros,

representanto 88.4 % do orçamento total

do centro.

Os contratos de prestações de

serviços têm ainda pequena expressão no

orçamento total do CIIMAR (4.7%), sendo

no entanto de registar um aumento de 13%

face ao ano anterior. Para a rubrica outros

rendimentos e ganhos, que representa

6.9% do orçamento total, contribuíram os

juros de depósitos e a imputação de

subsídios para o investimento.

6. Prémios e Distinções

Em 2014 investigadores do CIIMAR

foram distinguidos com alguns prémios.

A aluna de doutoramento Marina

Machado foi distinguida com o prémio
