The purpose of this project “KNOT” is created to establish a network among early career oceanographers in Korea, lower the barriers to entry into academia, and plan and encourage activities where ECOPs can take the lead.
Activities of KNOT include:
- Holding regular ECOP sessions at the Korean Oceanography Society’s biannual meetings and planning ECOP-led activities
- Mentor-mentee programs in oceanography for graduate students
- Group talks on topics beneficial to future oceanographers (such as further education, scholarships, funding, and employment)
- Publishing and sharing newsletters and/or email that provide information on scholarships/support programs, events, and job opportunities for ECOPs
- Acting as a contact point between ECOPs and various marine-related organizations, as well as educational councils of elementary, middle, and high schools (for lectures, R&E mentoring, etc.) in Korea
- Leading updates for the Korean node in the UN Decade ECOPs program.
