On July 22, 2023, the 8th MEL Graduate Forum was successfully held at D-SMART. The forum featured special lectures and interactive science booths, showcasing disciplines including marine biology, marine physics, marine chemistry, and marine geology. A group of 50 senior high school students from Dongshan No. 2 Middle School were invited to visit D-SMART, where they had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Marine environmental science. Through hands-on experiences and engagements, the students were inspired to develop a deeper appreciation and affection for the ocean.
