"European University of the Seas - SEA-EU" the Research Potential Database and the Shared Infrastructure Database have been developed
Within the framework of the project "European University of the Seas - SEA-EU" the Research Potential Database and the Shared Infrastructure Database have been developed. They are available at https://sea-eu.pl/.
We encourage you to use the available information, as well as to complete them with data on research teams and resources you would like to make available to partners. The purpose of the platform is, among others, to promote teams and to facilitate mutual contacts.

New holotypes in the collection of Museum of Amber Inclusions
Museum of Amber Inclusions, established in 1998, is intergral part of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Entomology and Museum of Amber Inclusions, Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Parasitology at Faculty of Biology University of Gdańsk. The Museum collection enriched recently with subsequent holotypes – the specimens on which scientific names are based, in this case – extinct dipterans preserved as inclusion in the Eocene Baltic amber. Holotypes and paratypes are the most precious specimens in scientific collections, Museum of Amber Inclusions houses now 82 type specimens.
