At September 17th, the I SEA team presented the oral communication about “Communicating Cutting-Edge Marine Science Through Immersive Virtual Reality: Contributions From ‘I SEA’ Project” at the 7th Annual European Marine Science Educators Association Conference, which took place at Expolab, S.Miguel Island, in the Azores.
More information on the conference can be read at

The I SEA team has been spreading the outcomes of the project at several academic conferences. Last September, at days 5 and 6, an oral communication about “Avaliação e Comunicação de Ciência: contribuições do projeto I SEA” and a poster about “O módulo ISEA, ao encontro dos Centros de Ciência Viva” was presented by our team at the XVIII National Meeting of Science Education (XVIII ENEC) | III International Seminar of Science Education (III ISSE), which was held at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP).
The I SEA team has had the abstract “I SEA PROJECT: CHALLENGES FROM SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND EVALUATION METHODS USING VIRTUAL REALITY IN NON-FORMAL CONTEXTS” accepted for presentation and full paper submission at the ICERI2019, the 12th annual International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation, to be held in Seville (Spain) on the 11th, 12th and 13th of November. Congratulations to the team!

Comunicar Ciência: Da profundidade do Mar à Química das coisas
By João Paiva, Professor
At May 31, Professor João Paiva presented a communication about the chemistry of the deep seas and the I SEA Project at FCUP, for some students of Santa Bárbara School, from Fânzeres.
Other communications in schools, regarding the I SEA project, have happened in the past:
| June 5th, 2019, at Escola Básica e Secundária de Canelas |
| May 2th, 2019, at Escola Secundária João Gonçalves Zarco |
Registrations for the I SEA Summer School are now open!
Join us in exploring
TED4SC –
Technology, Engineering and Design for Science Communication
The I SEA team has been testing the virtual reality scenarios and interactions as the module is near completion.
We invite the most fearless conquerors to embrace an adventure into the Azores’ mysterious deep seas, exploring coral gardens, hydrothermal vents, sponge aggregations and the mysterious water column.
In this expedition, where the virtual and the real go hand in hand, you will be invited to choose a character and a mission. Here you will face real dilemmas, while trying to escape the challenges of the deep seas….
ISEA’s research fellows within the FCUP team are soon travelling to Azores (Faial and São Miguel) in order to gather information on the science centers which will be hosting the iSea module – Expolab and Fábrica da Baleia de Porto Pim (OMA). The field trip is scheduled to May 6th-10th.
