At an informal presentation event, on November 7, the class members of the Nippon Foundation/POGO Centre of Excellence in Marine Observations for 2009-2010 received their certificates for completing the IODE Basic Data Management training course. Instructor Murray Brown travelled to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS, formerly known as the Bermuda Biological Station) to teach the class, which is usually taught in Ostend. The ten scholars for 2009-2010 were selected after an international competition, held every year for positions in a 10-month intensive educational program at BIOS. During their stay, the students attend lectures by visiting scientists, and participate in cruises. Shown here with their certificates (left to right) are Lilian Anne KRUG (Brazil), Kentaro SUZUKI (Japan ), Murray BROWN, HOANG CONG Tin (Vietnam), Gustavo FUENTES (Venezuela), Nilanthi priyadarshani (Sri Lanka), Bennet FOLI (Ghana), Kirill KIVVA (Russia), Kathleen SILVANO (Philippines), Hui ZHAO (China), and Olga SHATOVA (Ukraine).
