Established in 1960, the CSM is a public establishment in the Principality, under the supervision of the Department of the Interior. For nearly 30 years, he has been developing, through the concerted work of two research teams, the study of the biology of reef-building corals and related organisms. 

On 3 and 4 December, the Monaco Scientific Center will host the “Reef solutions” workshop, which will bring together the world’s leading experts on corals. This workshop will be followed on December 5th, 6th and 7th by the General Assembly of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI).
