This salon aims to provide young marine scientists with an opportunity to interact with renowned scholars. By exploring the development and application of emerging technologies, it helps young scholars understand advancements in the field of marine technology. Leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies, we are dedicated to building a healthier and more sustainable marine ecosystem. Through the application of intelligent monitoring, data analysis, and management systems, we can gain more precise insights into the state of marine ecosystems, allowing for the formulation of effective conservation measures. The integration of these technologies also offers new solutions for the sustainable use of marine resources, promoting the marine industry’s development toward a green, low-carbon, and efficient direction. Through interdisciplinary exchanges, we foster the dissemination of technology across various fields, helping young scholars apply relevant technologies effectively in their research, stay informed about technological progress in the marine field, and plan their career paths more rationally.

This exclusive event offers an invaluable chance for early-career researchers, students, and emerging scientists to connect directly with journal editors and gain critical insights into the publication process. Attendees will receive expert guidance on essential topics such as selecting the most suitable journal for publication, crafting effective and well-formatted response letters to reviewers, leveraging AI tools ethically during the research, and the importance of upholding research integrity. The editors will also share insider perspectives on current trends in scientific hotspot and open sharing, helping participants stay ahead in their fields. This event is designed to equip attendees with actionable knowledge and skills to elevate the quality, impact, and reach of their research publications.

This event features the launch of the SOLAS China Youth Science Committee, established under the Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) – China initiative. The committee brings together a diverse group of young scientists across multiple disciplines to highlight the voices and perspectives of emerging scientific leaders in China. The goals are to coordinate and champion early career activities within the research area of SOLAS and to provide future generation scientists with networking and collaboration opportunities. This event will also discuss the challenges and opportunities in SOLAS research, and the vision and mission of the SOLAS China Youth Science Committee in bridging local and global SOLAS research.

I can’t think of a single reason why I want to be a surgeon. But I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. You either take that step forward, or turn around and walk away. I could quit. But here’s the thing: I love the playing field.

While the ratio of female to male students in the field of ocean and environmental sciences was steadily increasing at all levels in the past decades, the number of female scientists stays low at higher ranks. How to make those female scientists stay on the field?  This workshop aims to promote women initiative and involvement in the research of oceanography and environmental sciences. We are going to dialog in this workshop with graduate students, posdoc, junior and senior scientists on the topics on gender preference in admission and recruitment, academic policy of gender equality, the balance between family and work as well as the response to administrative and service activities.
