EMBRC-Norway has seven partners. These have research infrastructures - such as field stations, laboratories, analysis equipment and algae cultures - that facilitate experiments with marine organisms to study how they react to changes in the marine environment. The Norwegian facilities are aimed at studies of organisms that are important for fisheries and aquaculture.

EMBRC-Norway offers European researchers and companies access to our research infrastructures in Norway, and through the collaboration, our own researchers gain access to a number of European research infrastructures. UiB infrastructures that are part of the project are Espegrend Marine Biological StationSea Lice Research Centre and Sars International Centre for Marine Molecular Biology.
