CESAM (Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies) is one of the R&D Units of the University of Aveiro.

CESAM’s fundamental mission is to develop research in the coastal and marine environment, integrating the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and socialsphere.

CESAM includes over 300 researchers from the following six Departments of the University of Aveiro: Environment and Planning, Biology, Physics, Geosciences, Chemistry and Civil Engineering.

In 2005 CESAM attained the status of ASSOCIATE LABORATORY, attributed to key national research organizations by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Portuguese Government.
