Event 1 - How Can New Technology Assist Oceanographer?

2025-01-14 12:00 ~ 13:15, 2A Meeting Room

Description

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.

Event 4 - Women in Science

2025-01-14 18:30 ~ 21:30, 1D Tongwen Hall

Description

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.

----Grey’ Anatomy 2005

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.
