<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";line-height:1.5;">The Institute of Ocean Research is a research institute in the Peking University dedicated to provide a platform for collaborative ocean research across disciplines and interdisciplinary education. The institute is supported by the extraordinary academic resources from multiple departments and colleges of the university. It is thus convenient to exploit the strength of fundamental research and take advantage of multi-disciplinary subjects related to marine science in Peking University, including marine science, marine engineering, marine humanity and social science, and maritime strategy. The institute places great emphasis on cultivating our students to become leading marine scientists with global competence, and on promoting communications and connections with scientists worldwide in various fields of marine research.</span>
