Geological Laboratoy of Laxe
University of "La Coruña"
The teaching activity is mainly centered in the formation of new investigators, through the teaching of PhD courses and the direction of doctoral thesis. However, due to the fact that the collaboration with the university is very close, its task in the formation of students of various centers in basic subjects of the Geological Sciences will be very wide.
