The Transnational Red Sea Center (TRSC), hosted at the Ecole Polytechnique Federal of Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland), aims at supporting science-based conservation of Red Sea coral reefs at a regional level, through a Science for Diplomacy and Diplomacy for Science approach. In collaboration with regional stakeholders, the TRSC conducts research on the exceptional resilience of local reefs in the face of environmental changes, develops innovative monitoring technologies, and facilitates their transfer to local collaborators to enhance standardized, scalable monitoring efforts across the region.
