The next day we visited Campus Mondial De la Mer in Les Ateliers des Capucins, a historic place in Brest that previously was home to several workshops for e.g. the
shipping industry but was completely destroyed during the World War 2. Now, after extensive rebuilding, Les Ateliers des Capucins is a meeting place and home to museums, cinemas and one of the stations to the famous télépherique. At Campus Mondial de la Mer, Juliette Rimetz Planchon told us all about the work that they are doing and where we could find potential collaborators. Their data portal and their Expertise Desk were especially
appreciated information as it provides easy access tools to find and get in contact with other researchers and projects.

As a true Bibuser (the public transport operators in Brest), I jumped on to the famous télépherique and met up with M. Gaël Morvan (who was hosting my personalized
meeting at SHOM) for lunch at a nice Celtic-inspired restaurant.

The afternoon visit at SHOM (Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine) was a success. First, I was introduced to the Director General M. Laurent Kerléguer who welcomed me with a printed chart over the Gothenburg archipelago from 1868 – beautiful! During
the visit I also got to meet many competent and interesting people working on several different topics such as: Marine Spatial Planning (Mme. Adeline Souf and Mme. Bérénice Lequesne), Marine Strategy
Framework Directive (Mme.Marie Cachera), modelling and access to the SHOM data portal (M. Cyril Lathuiliere)
and the calibration of sensors (M. Marc Le Menn and M. Eric Chauvet) and chemical analysis (e.g. salinity, oxygen, pigments and nutrients) of water samples (Mme.
Joëlle Salaun). We had great discussions and I learnt a lot, SHOM truly gather a wide range of disciplines.
