「海洋環境研究及創新科技」工作坊

本校誠邀　貴報／刊／台派員採訪以下活動：

活動：        「海洋環境研究及創新科技」工作坊

日期：    2007年11月19日至20日（星期一、二）

時間：   上午9時至下午5時

地點：   香港城市大學教學樓6樓B6605室（請乘搭3號升降機）

由香港城市大學（城大）領導的海洋環境研究及創新科技中心，開發了多項可於本港及區內應用的創新科技，用以監察和控制海洋污染及評估風險。中心將連續兩天為政府人員及環保組織代表舉辦工作坊，介紹這些創新科技。

此外，研究學者將於工作坊的第二天分享中心的部分研究結果，包括政府推行「淨化海港計劃」後維多利亞港的水質環境。

海洋環境研究及創新科技中心是大學教育資助委員會揀選的10項卓越學科領域之一，由城大領導，並與本地五所大學合作進行研究。中心獲大學教育資助委員會卓越學科領域計劃撥出4,500萬港元研究資助，開發一系列可以及早監察、評估及控制因人為活動對海洋所造成影響的創新科技。
