The Scottish Association of Marine Science (SAMS) at Dunbeg just north of Oban, is holding its annual Open Day on Saturday 7th March from 11.00am to 5.oopm.
Admission is free and the day offers a wide range of experiences from meeting people, talking and listening, looking, exploring, learning, doing competitions and winning prizes.
See for yourself the hangar where SAMS keeps equipment for exploring the ocean. Look at marine creatures close-up. See how the European Centre for Marine Biotechnology companies discover and develop new technologies and medicines from the marine environment.
Supported by a Scottish Government public science engagement grant called ‘Sharing Science’, the event also brings researchers from the University of Dundee and the University of Edinburgh to give you every opportunity to find out about exciting areas of Scottish research conducted outside Argyll.
SAMS is one of the biggest jewels in the crown of Argyll. It is involved in cutting edge research in matters at the heart of developments in marine energy and biomass. Everything it does links directly to Argyll’s greatest strength – its wealth of natural resources. This is our future in economic develeopment and SAMS is ann engine i taking us there.
Saturday 7th March is a chance to get to see this at up close and personal and to get to things you’ll want to know more about afterwards.
