TEAM

SECOS brings together 12 research associates from diverse disciplines, forming an interdisciplinary team with expertise in ecology, economics, pollution, planning, public policy, biogeochemistry, sociology, molecular ecology, art and science, and oceanography. This core, along with senior, junior, postdoctoral and adjunct researchers, forms a 68-person workforce dedicated to addressing key sustainability questions and advancing research on coastal social-ecological systems.

The governance of the center includes a Scientific Committee composed of the principal investigators and an Corporate Board composed of the Vice-rectors of research of the host universities, who oversee legal aspects and ensure good articulation with the participating universities.

In addition, we have an important team of administration, communications, support professionals and collaborators, who strengthen SECOS’ capacities to fulfill the institute’s objectives and consolidate its work throughout the country.
