The Seminar about the Annual Progress of the National Key Research & Development Program—“The Applicability of China’s Self-Dependent Marine Environment Security Assurance Technologies in Countries along the Maritime Silk Road” Is Held in Qingdao
— Promoting China’s self-dependent marine environment security assurance technologies in countries along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road
On April 18, 2018, led by the First Institute of Oceanography, State Oceanic Administration (the FIO for short), the ten organizations including the State Oceanic Administration, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Ministry of Education joined hands to undertake the national key research & development program on “marine environment safety and security”—“The Applicability of China’s Self-Dependent Marine Environment Security Assurance Technologies in Countries along the Maritime Silk Road”, and held the 2017 annual progress seminar in Qingdao. Wei Zexun, Deputy Director of the FIO, presided over the seminar, and Li Tiegang, Researcher and Director of the project, Zhang Jie, Researcher and Leader of the general panel for the marine environment security assurance, Professor Lian Lian, the project expert, Hou Yiyun, Researcher and Consultant Expert of the project, Zhang Hongliang (senior engineer), and Professor Li Ming attended the seminar.
The project focuses on the demands of marine environment security assurance during the construction of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and carries forward the applicability study of China’s maritime observation/supervision, marine forecasts, marine disaster emergency monitor and disposal techniques in countries along the Silk Road. It has pushed forward the promotion of the achievements of the self-dependent marine environment security assurance in related countries and shaped the serviceability of sharing observation data by setting up five technical test sites. Construction period is from July 2017 to December 2020.
On the Seminar, the project team gave an overall introduction to the status, and the subject directors reported the annual progress of the tasks. The project experts and consultant experts affirmed the achievements in the recent year and provided specific advice. Regarding the following mission, they hope that we could explore the essence of marine environment security assurance techniques, display the project advantages and results in richer forms, give full play to the international cooperation characteristics, and try to provide overseas services in a fast way.
