Plentzia Marine Station
Plentzia Marine Station
Plentzia Marine Station (PiE-UPV/EHU) is the host institute of my professional practices. This institute belongs to the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and was officially inaugurated as Plentzia Marine Station in July 2012. The main objective of the institution is to promote research activity in the context of the European Research Area in the field of Experimental Marine Biology and Biotechnology.

History
History
This building has a long history as it was built in 1923, when later was converted it into a heliotherapy sanatorium for patients with bone tuberculosis. It was officially inaugurated as the marine station of Plentzia in 2012. For decades it was owned by a bank until it was ceded to the UPV/EHU in 2007 in order to promote research and training activities, within the framework of Marine and Environmental Biology, and to facilitate the dissemination of scientific knowledge. There was a huge interest on that because the location of the building provides the possibility of handling large volumes of seawater, which enables experiments to be carried out that would otherwise be unthinkable but are necessary for consolidated research groups of excellence.

European Excellence Institute
European Excellence Institute
The institution is a leading Higher Education Centre at European and world level, recognized for the excellence of its research in the field of ecosystem health science, the quality of the diagnostic tools developed and applied to assess ocean health, and its contribution to the exploration of marine resources with applications in biomedicine. It is a reference for international institutions and networks, and for talented senior and junior researchers (e.g. PhD students) and is also recognized within the European Higher Education Area as a center of excellence in terms of postgraduate, PhD and specialist training, science dissemination and environmental awareness. PiE promotes internationalization through networking and attracting junior (PhD candidates) and senior (Ikerbasque, EU-People) researchers by offering high-level postgraduate and PhD training and specialization and continuing education.

Research Groups
Research Groups
PiE-UPV/EHU researchers are organized into Research Groups (GRI), Consolidated Research Groups (GIC); according to the quality standards of the Basque Government), and Research and Training Units (UFIs) which comprise the aggregation of GRIs and GICs with common research and training objectives. These groups have a long experience and knowledge and develop their research in different Research Areas:
