Prof. LIU Hongbin’s research group successfully holding a seminar on a National Key R&D Program

近日，刘红斌老师课题组在广州市南沙区香港科大霍英东研究院成功举办国家重点研发项目课题研讨会。会议经9月25日注册、26日汇报和讨论后圆满结束。

Recently, Prof. LIU Hongbin's research group successfully held the National Key R&D Program Seminar at the Fok Ying Tung Research Institute (FYTRI) of HKUST in Nansha District, Guangzhou. The conference was registered on September 25th, 2023, and after reporting and discussion on September 26th, it ended successfully.

刘红斌课题组，隶属香港科技大学海洋科学系，依托于广州南沙香港科大霍英东研究院（以下简称霍英东研究院），是厦门大学王大志教授主持的国家重点研发项目“我国近海典型海域浮游生态系统演变、临界点及重构”（2022YFC3105300）的下属第一课题主要负责单位。课题一的主要内容是典型海域浮游生态系统的演变过程和驱动机制，重点关注研究海域的浮游生物多样性调查与分析。

Prof. LIU's group, affiliated with the Department of Ocean Science at HKUST, is within the first sub-project of the National Key R&D Project "Tipping Points, resilience and reconstruction of plankton ecosystem in typical marine areas of China" (2022YFC3105300), led by Prof. WANG Dazhi from Xiamen University. The main focus of the sub-project is on the evolution process and driving mechanisms of typical marine planktonic ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on the plankton biodiversity.

应项目首席王大志老师要求，作为课题一负责人，刘红斌老师邀请了课题内部成员（主要来自霍英东研究院、厦门大学、中科院海洋所、中科院南海所和中国地质大学）和数名相关领域专家（中科院南海所谭烨辉、李开枝、海南大学吴文学、国家海洋局南海规划与环境研究院陈绵润）参加了本次会议。本次会议共设11个报告，包含8个课题子任务的进展、亮点汇报，和3个特邀专家报告。会议中重点汇报、讨论了中国临近海域（主要是珠江口、长江口）浮游动、植物多样性的研究进展，包含航次样品分析、历史数据收集、综述论文撰写、相关创新性成果展示等各种工作。各位老师、同学、专家积极参与讨论，在问题分析与解决、成果凝聚上达成共识。本次研讨会的成功举办极大推动了课题、项目任务的完成进展，促进了各课题、子任务成员之间的合作交流。

At the request of the project's chief researcher, Prof. WANG Dazhi, as the leader of the first sub-project, Prof. LIU Hongbin invited internal members of the sub-project (mainly from FYTRI, Xiamen University, the Institute of Oceanology, CAS, the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, CAS, and China University of Geosciences) and several experts in related fields (TAN Yehui, LI Kaizhi from the SCSIO, WU Wenxue from Hainan University, and CHEN Mianrun from the South China Sea Institute of Planning and Environmental Research) to attend this conference. The conference had 11 reports, including progress reports and highlights from eight sub-tasks, as well as three invited expert reports. The conference focused on reporting and discussing the research progress of phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity in the coastal waters of China (mainly in the Pearl River Estuary and Yangtze River Estuary), including the analysis of cruise samples, historical data collection, review paper writing, and innovative achievements. All teachers, students, and experts actively participated in the discussion and reached consensus on problem analysis and solution and the consolidation of results. The successful holding of this seminar greatly promoted the completion progress of the project and the cooperation and communication among members of various sub-projects.
