25 French entrepreneurs meet SOCIB; science and society

The French Consul in the Balearic Islands, Monsieur Michel Magnier, invited SOCIB's Director, Joaquín Tintoré, to a lunch meeting to present SOCIB activities to a group of 25 french entrepreneurs living in Mallorca. The meeting took place on Thursday May 22, 2014, at UIB Campus School of Tourism.  After a brief presentation of SOCIB activities, we had the opportunity to discuss about topics such as water quality, ocean and climate, ocean currents and emergency response, beaches, the state and variability of the Mediterranean Sea, among other topics. It was a very interesting experience listening to society needs and trying to bring our science and applications closer to society.
