From July 8 to 9, 2024, Fu Yuanbin(Director of Island Ecological Environment Protection OfficeNMEMC), and histeamvisited ourcollege for anin-depth investigation on the construction of diving training baseinuniversity, accompanied byZhang Liang(Director of Chinese Ecological Civilization Research and Promotion Association), Wang Yang(Level III Division Rank Officialof theNMEMC),Engineer.Zhang Ting, andEngineer Huang BaiqiangofSCIES.
On the afternoon of July 8, the two sides held asymposium.Vice-Dean Liu Qiyang extended a warm welcometoDirector Fu Yuanbin and his team,and introduced the basic situation ofourcollege. Vice-Dean Liang Jiayuan,Asst.Deans Huang Rongyong and Chen Biao, along with the heads of various teaching and research departments andfacultyparticipated in thedicsuccion.Director Fu Yuanbin introduced the background and purpose ofthisvisit, as well as theirteam members.
Afterwards, Huang Xueyong(Director of the Diving and Marine ScientificExpeditionCenter)gave a comprehensive overview of the construction history, latest progress and remarkable achievements of theDiving Training Base.He emphasized that the base has been committed to the training and promotion of marine scientific diving technologysince its establishment. Through some powerful measures such asdevelopinga specialized courseDiving and Marine Scientific Expedition",social resourcesintegration,creation of a unique brand, andtraining modelsinnovation,a large number of high-quality professionalshave been cultivated for marine environmental monitoring and scientific research.
During thesymposium, the two sides conductedanin-depth discussion on key issues,such as the qualifications, facilities, teaching staff, and training programs of theDiving Training Base, and had a heated discussion on how to further deepen cooperation.
