The 21st century is the century of digital ocean, and the representation, storage, and processing of ocean data are the core foundation for the development of digital ocean. This training course aims to focused program that equips young students with the requisite knowledge and skills to understand and model these processes accurately. Under this background, the ODC center has planned the 13th training course on Ocean Model and Ecosystem Model in Qingdao during 8-13 July 2024.
As the first center under the framework of UNESCO/IOC-RTRCs, the ODC Center have carried out serious training courses, which are featured with enough practical exercises, comfortable discussions within group and outside, and intensive interactions among trainees and experts. Besides, this training course will design more interesting activities such as brainstorming, designing project proposals. These activities will ensure that trainees improve their ability in modeling the ocean ecosystem.
