Throughout the days, which are already in its third edition, the IH and the IHM held their annual bilateral meeting, thus continuing the collaborations between the two institutes. These two institutions, together with the University of Cadiz and I-MAR, held this great event in order to bring together those involved in maritime scientific work, promoting the sharing of knowledge and debate on the issues related to this area.
