Royal NIOZ aspires to perform top level curiosity-driven and society-inspired research of marine systems integrating the natural sciences of relevance to oceanology. This multidisciplinary marine research focuses on phenomena and mechanisms in coastal and shelf seas as well as the open ocean and involves close co-operation between physicists, chemists, geologists, biologists and technicians. NIOZ supports advanced marine research and education at universities by initiating and facilitating multidisciplinary and sea-going research embedded in national and international programmes. The research is performed in laboratories, in large seawater facilities and on board research vessels.
