Embrace the ocean hand in hand

    Hosted by the Ocean College, an Ocean Youth Camp took place over two weeks (June 26-July 7) at the Zijingang Campus in Hangzhou and the coastal Zhoushan Campus, just 500 meters from the East China Sea. This camp attracted more than 30 students from seven countries, including Portugal, Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Guyana. Some of them came from renowned universities such as the Indian Institute of Technology and the University of Porto.

     He also says“Everyone here will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of regional and global ocean research. I’m very pleased to meet friends equally interested in this field.”

    Under the theme “For a Better Ocean Future”, various activities were designed to provide participants with an insight into ocean science and Chinese culture, including academic courses, cultural lectures, field studies, and research projects. The lectures covered important topics such as marine environmental protection, deep sea AUVs, and marine life. In addition to visits to marine labs and state-of-the-art facilities, students also got a glimpse of the traditional Chinese tea ceremony, Tai Chi, and Chinese calligraphy, which they found equally rewarding.
