Nearly 70 newcomers were welcomed by the IRD's South-East regional delegation on October 10 at the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanology (MIO).
The program of this friendly welcome day included a morning of institutional and scientific presentations in the presence of Valérie Verdier and members of the Institute's governance, followed by an afternoon devoted to the discovery of the Delegation's support services and a visit to the MIO.
A big thank you to the MIO colleagues for their presentations during the visits.

Last Friday 7th October the NOTION project meeting took place at MIO. Funded by BNP-Paribas Climate & Biodiversity Initiative, NOTION uses a combination of lab experiments, field expeditions and biogeochemical modeling to infer the distribution and activity of diazotrophs in the future ocean under climate change.

Clara Herer, CNRS Côte d'Azur regional delegate, and Aurélie Philippe, CNRS Provence and Corsica regional delegate, welcomed Nathalie Bicais, Mayor of La Seyne-sur-Mer, on Tuesday, August 30, for a visit of the DT INSU facilities, a presentation of the real estate project and of the activities of the DT INSU, the MIO and the CPPM, which will be carried out in the future MEUST building.

Le MIO a accueilli le mardi 13 septembre les 30 étudiants de master 1 Sciences de la Mer de l'université de Toulon. Les étudiants ont pu ainsi découvrir l'univers des sciences de la mer avec une conférence de Céline Rommevaux sur les missions de recherche océanographique à bord des grands navires de recherche océanographique Français. Les étudiants ont également eu une présentation du SAM et de son parc d'instrumentation par Michel Lafont, ainsi qu'une visite des salles blanches et de l'ICP par Stéphanie Jacquet et Aurélie Dufour.

 For this second campaign, Warmalis 2, the scientific team including Martine Rodier (MIO-EMBIO) crosses, on board the Alis, the central Pacific Ocean from south to north, starting from Papeete in French Polynesia to go back north and cross the Kiribati Line Islands to finish its work in international waters. Having started on September 14, the campaign will last 21 days during which 15 sampling stations will be carried out if the weather conditions allow it. This campaign has the particularity of being the very last campaign of the Alis, a ship of the French oceanographic fleet.

Faced with the climate emergency and the depletion of natural resources, it is now vital to find renewable energy sources. Hydrogen stands out as a solution for decarbonization. IRD scientists Pierre-Pol Liebgott and Yannick Combet-Blanc (MIO) - from the BIOTEC H2 International Joint Laboratory - are developing a biological hydrogen production process using food waste and marine microorganisms. A project supported by the IRD's South-East regional delegation, to be discovered in a few clicks.

The LUMEXPLORE festival of the Science and Environment Exploration Film (14-18/09/2022), organized this year again the Round Tables of Agence de L'Eau! What is the perception of the health status of the Mediterranean? Biodiversity and pollution, where are we?
It is on these themes, and through a game of questions and answers with the public that Pierre Boissery (Water Agency), Olivier Pringault (MIO-IRD), Chrystelle Montigny (University of Montpellier), Yvan Griboval (Navigator) and Stef Jacquet (MIO-CNRS) have animated the two round tables organized during the festival.
