On the first day, the ‘International Symposium on Water Ecosystem Prediction Modeling’ consisting of presentations in six sessions and round table will be held, inviting the experts on water ecosystem from home and abroad.
On the following day, the ‘Workshop on Water Ecosystem Health Quality Control’ is prepared to enhance the analysis capability of domestic researchers. The experts from different fields such as attached algae, fish, benthic macro-invertebrate and waterfront environment will gather together to discuss ways to improve analysis capability.
Also, 30 students from ‘Blue Sky Keepers’ of Soongmoon middle school, Seoul are invited to give a presentation and have Q&A session with the experts.
On the 19th, the experts will have an on-ground discussion at nearby river while the students will go on a field trip. In addition, a thesis presentation will be held for undergraduate/graduate students majoring in water ecosystem.
