Atlitter 2024 will be held in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the vibrant capital of Tenerife, one of the main islands of the Canary Archipelago.
Located just 100 km off the northwestern coast of Africa, Tenerife is known for its diverse landscapes, ranging from stunning beaches to lush forests and the towering volcanic peak of El Teide, which at 3,718 meters is the highest point in Spain.
This tropical island, shaped by its volcanic origins, offers a unique mix of natural beauty and year-round warm weather, making it an exceptional location for both research and leisure.
The workshop will take place at the Canary Islands Oceanographic Centre (Centro Oceanográfico de Canarias), part of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO-CSIC).
This prestigious institution is located in Santa Cruz and is a hub for cutting-edge marine research, making it the perfect setting for discussions on marine litter in the Atlantic Ocean.
The center’s state-of-the-art facilities will host a day of dynamic presentations, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife offers excellent infrastructure for international visitors, with easy access from the island’s two airports and a variety of accommodation options.
As the capital of Tenerife, Santa Cruz is rich in cultural and culinary experiences, providing an inviting backdrop for workshop participants.
