Marine Production Models and Circular Economy Collaborative Learning Group

• Purpose: Taiwan is blessed with a bountiful marine ecosystem containing many resources that still lay undiscovered but full of opportunity. However, current wasteful production models have created global harm to property, economies and even lives. Humanity must immediately start using wisdom and technology to overhaul the way we exploit natural resources so that we may achieve a circular economy.

• Objectives: With faculty from the departments of marine biotechnology and resources, biological sciences, political economy, and business management, as well as teachers from Kaohsiung Medical University and the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium, the course will imbue students with knowledge of both marine science research and product development. It is hoped that in the future students and teachers may collaboratively brainstorm and develop sustainable marine production models and bring about a circular economy.

• Principal instructors of each micro program:

üMarine Microorganism Applications: Professor Liang-Chun (Mark) Wang, DMBR, ext.5035

üMarine Biological Resources and Practical Applications: Professor Shang-Yin Vanson Liu, DMBR, ext. 5024

üMarine Natural Products: Professor Jing-Ru Weng, DMBR, ext. 5026

üBiotechnology: Professor Hsin-Yuan Tsai, DMBR, ext. 5031

• Course Type: Professional Program

• Purpose: This program is based on the ideas of sustainable use, local heritage, and cross-border innovation. It is intended to take Taiwan’s ample biodiversity together with local geographical features and apply them with modern biochemistry and molecular-biology-based biotechnology. Interdisciplinary studies will follow the lines of medical biotechnology, green energy technology and marine antifouling, allowing Taiwan’s unique resources to be used sustainably; and via cooperation with relevant domestic and international industries, provide industry training and instruction from industry veterans, generating talent in the area of sustainable marine resource development.

• Objectives: The course will upend the imaginary gap between ocean and industry in students’ minds and enhance interactive relationships between industry and academia. Students will acquire basic knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology, fostering their ability to learn interdisciplinary subjects such as biopharmaceutical development, transgenic green energy, and marine antifouling. They will learn professional knowledge, from basic biological ecology to modern biochemistry and biotechnology, and combined it with hands-on and experimental lessons led by industry veterans to improve their expertise and experience in implementing their knowledge.

• Completion Requirements: Core courses: 10 credits; Electives: 12 credits

• Principal instructor / Phone number: Professor Chih-Chuang Liaw, DMBR, (07)5252000 ext.5058
