2nd Scientific School “Io Ras Sailing University” – The Development of Human Resources in Marine Sciences

Abstract

In 2018, an “IO RAS Sailing University” educational program was launched with the support of the Administration of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS (IO RAS) and the Young Scientists Council. The aim of the project was to create an environment that would allow students and researchers of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology to implement scientific research and field work in direct contact with each other in addition to and close connection with the existing traditional methods of education. During the first working year a working cycle was formed, including 4 stages: scientific school, coastal practice, sea expeditions and publication of the obtained results. The second year of the project was opened by the 2nd Scientific School “IO RAS Sailing University”, which was called to strengthen the connection between higher education facilities and the Institute of Oceanology with the aim of acquiring young scientific human resources in future.
