Tunisia’s National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies (INSTM) has gained international recognition with the help of an EU-funded initiative.
The INCOMMET (Improving national capacities in observation and management of marine environment in Tunisia) project strengthened the partnership between EU and Tunisian research into the marine environment. The initiative also facilitated participation in the European Research Area (ERA) and the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
