Nippon Foundation – POGO Visiting Professorship Programme
completed programme
The programme allowed an experienced scientist to visit an oceanographic
institution in a developing country to give lectures and provide training
in his/her area of speciality to scientists from that institute and
from other neighbouring institutes. The visiting scientist was
the Nippon Foundation – POGO Visiting Professor in Marine Science.
He/she visited the host institution for a period of between three
and six months. By this means, we exposed young
scientists, especially in developing countries, to the best oceanographers
world wide and facilitate the formation of professional contacts that
was invaluable for the development of their scientific careers.
