At a glance
PhD students attending this intensive workshop will get acquainted with recent developments in ocean science. In the field of marine technology, there will be an introduction to biotechnology and bio-prospection, fishery, and ecological research technology as well as emerging digital technology. Other aspects dealt with include the governance of the high-seas and social and cultural reflections on technology and resource exploration. There will be an emphasis on active and experiential learning, often in teams of students, with demonstration of the different techniques and approaches. The workshop takes place in the city of Tromsø and neighboring areas, which offer ample scientific, technological, and administrative infrastructure and cultural life. The multi-disciplinary approach to the different activities is followed by a formative final assignment. This demands an integrative view and advanced academic skills.
