CCMAR received last november the visit of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and our researchers had the opportunity to showcase their research to this delegation. Mr. ZHANG Yaping, Vice-President of CAS and Mr. Wang Fan, Director of the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) were specially interested in establishing fruitful collaboration with CCMAR in a near future.

The visit aims to strengthen relations with CCMAR researchers, specially because scientific collaboration between the two institutions is growing stronger.

CCMAR has maintained research lines and contacts with SHOU University in Shanghai, a partnership that allowed the arrival of Chinese students for work programs in our laboratories.

Established in 1950, IOCAS is the oldest, largest and one of the most advanced multidisciplinary research and development institutes in marine science in China.
