The Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) was created on 2 April 1999 by the Flemish Government, the Province of the West-Flanders and the Belgian National Science Foundation. It is an autonomous institution, with the legal status of a not-for-profit organisation. VLIZ acts as a co-ordinating and information platform for marine sciences in Flanders. The main task of VLIZ is supporting and visualising scientific research in the coastal area. By doing so, it developed a co-ordination forum, an oceanographic platform, the Flanders Marine Data and Information Centre and deploys the vessel RV Simon Stevin for oceanographic research. Besides, the institute acts as contact point and provides advices on demand of the government or on their own initiative. The VLIZ has an interface function between the scientific community, the public authorities and the public at large. |
