Where science communication meets scientific research. One practice. Three domains. Every engagement begins with the science — understood from the inside.

Science Communication

Your research project has produced results that matter — and you need them to reach funders, policymakers, and the public, alongside the academic audience it already reaches.

Translating scientific work for non-specialist audiences is a distinct skill set, separate from producing the research itself. Thalassa manages the full communication cycle — the website, the dissemination, the workshops and interviews — so your research reaches its academic audience and the funders, policymakers, and public who need it too, with the scientific accuracy intact.

Working alongside research teams and institutions as a scientific and editorial partner, Thalassa brings the same standards of accuracy and rigour to communication outputs that the underlying research demands. The results hold up to scrutiny, and reach beyond the institution to the people who need them.

Services include:

  • Website and social media editorial management, including real-time field campaign coverage (blogs, interviews)
  • Book editing that turns a research project into a lasting record of the work and the people behind it
  • Publication highlights for research outputs
  • Scientific and technical writing for specialist and general audiences
  • Workshop organisation and facilitation
  • Grant communication deliverables and public engagement outputs

Citizen Science

Your NGO has the commitment and the community to run a citizen science programme.

Scientific design — protocols, data quality standards, a pathway to peer-reviewed publication — is the piece Thalassa adds to it. From proposal writing and field surveys to data analysis and scientific writing — Thalassa manages the full research cycle.

Developing and coordinating citizen science projects with robust volunteer coordination, Thalassa collaborates with NGOs and civil society to collect data rigorous enough for peer review — open science that contributes directly to growing scientific knowledge.

Services include:

  • Project proposal writing
  • Design, coordination, and implementation of citizen science projects, including field surveys at sea and on land
  • Community coordination and volunteer training
  • Data management and analysis
  • Ocean literacy project development
  • Scientific summary reports for funders and stakeholders

Data Analysis and Research

Your consortium is applying for European funding — Horizon Europe, Interreg, LIFE, and similar programmes — or you need independent scientific analysis on a specific research question, not necessarily on marine science data.

That work calls for a partner who combines scientific expertise with communication and outreach capacity.

Thalassa joins as an independent scientific partner — joining a consortium as a contributing scientist, or taking on a research question directly — delivering the analysis and report it needs, and ensuring the outputs reach the audiences your funder requires.

Services include:

  • Research and grant proposal writing
  • Field survey coordination at sea and on land
  • Marine ecological data analysis
  • Environmental data reports and technical reports
  • Scientific writing and peer-reviewed publication
  • Outreach and communication deliverables for funded projects

Fields of expertise: Marine ecology, Plastic pollution, Climate change, Marine Protected Areas, Mediterranean Sea, Southern Ocean, Ocean literacy, Citizen science.

Working Languages

Thalassa operates fully in English, Italian, and French — covering three of the principal languages of international scientific publication, Mediterranean ocean science, and EU environmental policy.

The science that protects the ocean needs to reach the people who can act on it.

That is the work every project here is part of. The best next step is a conversation about yours.
