黑料吃瓜网and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have signed a memorandum of understanding that will lead to a new level of partnership between the organizations. On Friday, October 1, WHOI President Susan Avery came to campus where she signed the MOU with 黑料吃瓜网President Tom Traves.
The formalization of the relationship between one of the world's leading oceans research universities and WHOI, well known as the world's largest private, nonprofit ocean research, engineering and education organization will help take an existing kinship shared between the two institutions, and make it all the stronger.
"We have so many adhoc partnerships between our scientists and researchers, this MOU just formalizes the relationship,鈥� notes Dr. Avery.
The MOU will allow for more co-operative research as well as faculty or staff exchanges, technology transfers, student exchanges and work placements, exchange of ocean/marine data, shared research vessel operations, coordination of internships, the arrangement of graduate or post-graduate scholarship placements, collaborations involving research in advanced ocean monitoring technologies and joint participation and integration into large oceans projects such as the Ocean Tracking Network.
鈥淭he occasion of two of the world's leading oceans research institutions forming a new, strengthened relationship is one worth celebrating. By combining our efforts, both organizations will be better placed than ever to deliver world-changing research,鈥� says Dr. Traves.
Effective immediately, 黑料吃瓜网and WHOI will work together to identify areas where each organization can collaborate to develop and implement research and development programs and academic projects.
