| 2025/05 - 2025/05 | Organization of the workshop “Imaging the Invisible: Plankton Diversity & Discovery in Azorean Waters”, a hands-on training
on plankton imaging technologies. It covered PlanktoScope assembly and operation, coastal sampling, image acquisition, and
classification using EcoTaxa. Led by Adélaïde Perruchon (LOV, France), it strengthened capacity in marine microbiodiversity
monitoring and supported standardized, open-source ocean observation approaches. (2025/05/05 - 2025/05/07)
