Why the marine discipline of Sun Yat-sen University can rise rapidly

Recently, China’s largest marine comprehensive scientific research practice ship "Sun Yat-Sen University" was launched in Shanghai

"The ocean is an important resource and expandable strategic space for human economic and social development

Due to its proximity to the South China Sea, Sun Yat-sen University began to develop marine disciplines at the beginning of its establishment

"This is one of the historical evidences that China exercises effective control over the Paracel Islands today

After entering the new century, Sun Yat-sen University has accelerated the layout of marine subjects

"Sun Yat-sen University has received strong and continuous support from Guangdong Province and Zhuhai City for the development of marine disciplines

Tangjiawan, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, has blue skies, blue seas, and golden beaches.

Professor Ma Jun, Executive Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President of Sun Yat-Sen University, said that the ocean is a huge and complex system, including natural sciences, engineering technology, social sciences, and humanities

Chen Dake, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Southern Ocean Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhuhai), told reporters: "The area of ​​the ocean is much larger than that of the land, but our understanding of the deep sea is not as good as the surface of the moon.

Relying on the advantages of a comprehensive university, Sun Yat-sen University has attracted more and more high-level marine talents at home and abroad to join CUHK's marine disciplines

"Attracting talents, including attracting students, first of all is the national strategy of a maritime power, the advantages of Guangdong Province in developing a maritime province and the government's determination, and the layout of Sun Yat-sen University in marine disciplines, as well as some of our progress and future.

For example, experimental equipment and platforms such as the "Sun Yat-Sen University" marine comprehensive scientific research practice ship are very attractive to marine scientific research talents
