About us

The Center for Marine Evolutionary Biology started in July 2008, financed by a ten year Linnaeus grant awarded by the Swedish Research Council and the Government Research Council FORMAS. Today, research and activities are financed through multiple funding bodies and The University of Gothenburg. More than 70 scientists are involved in the Centre's activities.
