ANSO Key Collaborative Research Program Kick Off Meeting
'Assessment and response to the impact of marine microplastic pollution on ecological security in the coral triangle'
Aru Room, Laterio Bld, BRIN Ancol Campus
Jakarta
3 April 2023
Introduction
The "Coral Triangle" area is the global center of marine biodiversity, home to 370 million people who depend on marine ecosystems for their livelihoods and food sources. It is also the area with the most serious microplastic pollution in the world. Large-scale and systematic surveys of marine microplastic pollution and influence on the ecology have not yet been carried out. Hence, the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with the Indonesian Research Center for Oceanography-BRIN, the University of the Philippines, the University of Papua New Guinea and under the support of Alliance of International Scientific Organizations (ANSO), plan to carry out an multilateral collaboration program to investigate, analyze and respond to the current situation systematically and comprehensively.
To better start and implement this program together with our international partners, the kick-off meeting of this program will be held at Jakarta on 3rd April 2023 in a hybrid format, also synchronized via Zoom meeting. The kick-off meeting will provide a forum for scientists to exchange recent progress in the study of marine microplastics/debris pollution, their influences on marine biology and ecosystem, to address environmental challenges and promote cross-disciplinary collaborations with a view towards the goals of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for sustainable development and healthy life. Meanwhile, ANSO office will give a brief introduction about their collaborative research program, supports of scientist exchange program, scholarship for Ph D students.
Overview of the ANSO Program
ANSO is a non-profit, non-governmental international scientific organization founded in 2018 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 36 other international science and education institutions from around the world. ANSO came into being under the principles of "joint consultation, joint effort, and joint sharing" championed by the Chinese "Belt and Road Initiative".
ANSO is committed to promoting shared development, sustainable development, and the advancement of the UN SDGs through catalyzing and implementing concrete international cooperation initiatives in Science, Technology & Innovation, and Capacity Building (STIC). It is envisaged that ANSO will focus attention on the investigation and addressing of the most urgent regional and global scientific challenges. This focus includes supporting the needs and scientific capacity building of the Global South through partnerships and cooperation with the member countries and institutions.
ANSO is an international organization designed to win global recognition and support through continuous activity, sound scientific programs and actions, and success in addressing global needs and challenges.
