On January 24, 2012 the representatives of the International Campus of Excellence of the Sea in Spain, signed in Cadiz the collaboration agreement for the creation of CEI·MARNET. CEI·MARNET is an Alliance that seeks to articulate the international projection of these Campus of excellence, promote a process of collaboration and mutual learning between the institutions that comprise it and establish a programme of joint actions. The CEI·MARNET network is constituted by 14 universities and public research organisations, which are part of the four Campus of international excellence of marine themes existing in Spain. It includes: the Campus do Mar (promoted by the Universities of Vigo, Santiago and A Coruña, the CSIC and the IEO, and also four Portuguese universities, as well as centers and technological platforms linked to the marine R & D); the Campus Mare Nostrum (University of Murcia and Polytechnic University of Cartagena); the Tri-Continental Atlantic Campus (Universities of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and La Laguna); and CEI·MAR (formed by the five universities of coastal Andalusia -Cadiz, Malaga, Huelva, Almeria and Granada-, the CSIC and the IEO; and several international, national and regional institutions dedicated to the study of the marine environment in its different aspects).
