Each university reported on the program for the 2022 academic year, and after introducing the campus, class contents, international student schedules, and dormitories, discussions were held. In addition, there was a report on what kind of marine experiments and experiences the international students conducted in 2022.

 

 

 

In the afternoon, the participants moved to the Nagasaki University Marine Biological Station in Taira-cho, Nagasaki City, where they were guided through facilities that handle marine life and toured the inside of the 「Nagasaki Maru」, which is owned by the Faculty of Fisheries of Nagasaki University.

 

 

 

The Marine Biological Laboratory has a breeding laboratory, a special breeding laboratory, a student laboratory, an outdoor breeding facility, and a sea-surface cage, where you can raise organisms and conduct experiments using seawater. In addition, we have a biological laboratory and a tissue cell culture room so that physiological experiments using fresh biological samples can be conducted. In addition, we have a molecular biology laboratory, a chemical laboratory, and a cold room so that molecular biology and biochemistry experiments can be conducted.

 

 

The Nagasaki Maru is a new ship that was just delivered in March 2018. The total length is about 69 meters, and the maximum capacity is 70 people. All year round, they mainly sail on Japan seas such as Toyama and Okinawa prefectures for marine training.

 

 

At the end of the day, we showed them around the Bunkyo Campus, which is the main campus of Nagasaki University.

 

 

The next day was a meeting for the upcoming year, the 2023 AFIMA Leaders Program. Nagasaki University will welcome international students on April 6.
