2023.01.18
The 12th OQEANOUS Plus meeting was held online on January 16, 2023, with Prof. Ikuo Hirono from Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology (TUMSAT)as a chairman, Prof. Cheol Huh from Korea Maritime and Ocean University (KMOU), Prof. Wang Xichang from Shanghai Ocean University (SHOU), Assistant Prof. Wanwimol Klaypradit from Kasetsart University (KU), Associate Prof. Lee Choon Weng from Universiti Malaya (UM), Associate Prof. Channarong Rodkhum from Chulalongkorn University (CU), Dr. Ichsan Fauzi from IPB University (IPB) and other faculty staffs.
In this meeting, we reviewed STP Summer School 2022 with the survey from students. STP Summer School was a hybrid of online and offline, where students attended online lectures conducted by professors from 7 consortium universites in July and visited other universities as a field trip in September (or in October). It was an unprecedented experience for the students to actually visit laboratories they had been interested in during the online lectures on field trips, and to actually meet again on field trips with students from other countries whom they had met on screen during the online lectures. By referring to the result of survey, we confirmed most of the students were satisfied with the program and it motivated them to try IJP or DDP, which made consortium universities confident to go on in 2023.
Then the meeting agenda followed with OEP schedule and details. OEP 2023 will be held on Mar/17/2023 with the host of SHOU. This program is regarded as an itroduction of IJP or DDP, so we discussed well to develop this program in order to recruit more students.
The next OQEANOUS Plus meeting is scheduled to be held online on Feb/17/2023.
