Goals Explore the possibility of a Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) in China Explore the possibility of a Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) in China Share US experiences with COSEE Share US experiences with COSEE Identify opportunities and barriers to establishing a COSEE-China Identify opportunities and barriers to establishing a COSEE-China Develop a shared vision of COSEE-China Develop a shared vision of COSEE-China

Rationale The ocean affects all people The ocean affects all people The vast majority of the people do not know enough about the ocean to make good decisions The vast majority of the people do not know enough about the ocean to make good decisions Students do not get exposed to ocean science in school so fewer good ocean scientists are trained than needed Students do not get exposed to ocean science in school so fewer good ocean scientists are trained than needed The best practices in ocean education are not shared widely The best practices in ocean education are not shared widely

Opportunities A collaborative network allows best practices to be shared A collaborative network allows best practices to be shared A focus on excellence makes educational practices more effective A focus on excellence makes educational practices more effective By engaging scientists in education and outreach, the most interesting, innovative, and technically advanced science reaches the public By engaging scientists in education and outreach, the most interesting, innovative, and technically advanced science reaches the public
