AIMEC Joint Research Workshop Held at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa

In connection with the launch of AIMEC’s “East-West North Pacific Marine Ecosystem Research Unit” at the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC), a workshop was held to promote stronger collaboration between AIMEC’s host institutions—Tohoku University and JAMSTEC—and its international satellite partner, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. The event focused on advancing joint research efforts, particularly those involving early-career researchers. During the visit, AIMEC members toured the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE), a world-leading hub for marine microbiology, guided by Director Prof. David Karl. On the final day, productive discussions were held with staff from the Uehiro Center for the Advancement of Oceanography (UC・AO) to explore future partnerships.
