Do you believe in the value of deep-sea research

but don’t have the knowledge or resources to carry it out?

We hear you.

The TWInning Laboratory for an Innovative, Global Hub To Explore the Deep (TWILIGHTED) is an innovative European project building deep-sea research capacity in Madeira, with the intention to create a new way of doing deep-sea research: together. By focusing on low-cost methods and creating a collaborative space for all, we seek to enable more scientists from more places around the world to participate in deep-sea research and innovation.
