Topic outline

  • Seeking your support to the Balance de Ocean Project

    • Hokkaido University is working on a project to foster the next generation of top scientists of the sea by developing and accumulating online educational materials for fisheries and marine sciences.  This project is not only for Hokkaido University students.  It is also open online to everyone who aspires to learn about fisheries science and engage in various practices.  It is a system that promotes independent learning and inquiry beyond the limitations of place and time, and beyond the barriers of occupation, age, field of study, and grade.  Our goal is to bring together excellent learners, to nurture them together, and to make Hokkaido University contribute to the local community and human society through this social education project.  
      We are pleased to announce that we have prepared a collaboration program for companies and organizations that support our efforts in this area.  
      We would be very grateful if you could support us.
