Date Time Portsmouth joins forces with leading Chinese university to help protect global marine resources The University of Portsmouth has partnered with Ocean University of China (OUC) to collaborate on more sustainable, equitable and secure use of global aquatic resources. The agreement will establish a formal relationship between both institutions and identify areas for collaboration in research and learning. Through the signing, there will be greater knowledge and innovation exchange between UK and China experts. This will come through visiting researcher placements, student exchange and joint-collaborative research on locally relevant and globally important issues. The long-term aim is to create a version of Portsmouth’s Centre for Blue Governance (CBG) at Ocean University of China, which will work with and complement the growing expertise of colleagues at the University of Portsmouth.
