逐浪蔚蓝：
我国海洋科学界首获此殊荣
英国海洋工程、科学与技术学会（IMarEST）始创于 1889 年（最初为轮机工程师学会，Institute of Marine Engineers），总部位于英国伦敦，是全球海洋工程、科学与技术领域最具权威性的国际化专业学会与学术注册机构。会士（Fellow）作为IMarEST会员体系中的最高荣誉等级，历来授予在国际海洋科学与工程领域作出卓越贡献、具有杰出领导力的行业翘楚。
戴民汉教授此次荣膺IMarEST会士，不仅是国际同行对其学术成就的高度认可，也是我国海洋科学领域首位获此殊荣的学者，充分体现了该学会对其在海洋科技与跨学科领域杰出贡献的肯定。
理念交融：
以跨学科创新赋能可持续
海洋未来
作为长期站在国际海洋科研前沿的战略科学家，戴民汉教授始终倡导并积极推动海洋科学、技术与工程的深度跨学科融合。他深刻认识到，面对日益复杂的全球海洋环境挑战，单一学科的视角已难以破解局限。唯有打破传统学科壁垒，将前沿基础科学发现、硬核涉海工程技术、科学的海洋治理体系以及创新的蓝色金融工具紧密结合，并坚持“共同设计（Co-design）”的核心方法论，才能真正实现可持续的海洋发展。
在感谢致辞中，戴民汉教授分享了这一深刻感悟。他表示，获选IMarEST Fellow不仅是一项个人荣誉，更是一份沉甸甸的社会责任——让他得以更好地肩负起“海洋大使”的使命：
“我们不仅要推动跨学科与跨国界的协同创新，以‘（科学+技术+治理+金融）×共同设计²’的生态范式守护人类的蓝色星球，更要薪火相传，构筑教与学的坚实纽带，全力扶持、赋能新一代海洋领军人才的成长。”
此外，他还受邀作了题为“复杂海岸带系统的演变与临界过程”的大会主旨报告，结合前沿科学研究，与全球参会代表深入探讨了海岸带系统演变的科学机制与应对之道。
携手同行：
深化国际合作，共筑蓝色愿景
活动同场荣获“国际海洋人才发展贡献致敬”的曹耀生教授，是IMarEST历史上的首位亚洲会长及名誉会士，长期致力于推动全球海洋专业人才的培养与国际化发展。
借此契机，实验室代表团与IMarEST及海内外顶尖专家进行了深入交流。未来，双方将依托这一高能级国际平台，积极引入全球顶尖的工程标准、智库资源与国际资质认证体系。这一方向与实验室“立足前沿、融通全球、服务国家海洋强国战略”的使命与愿景高度契合。实验室将以此为契机，进一步深化与IMarEST及国际顶级学术、产业伙伴的战略合作，合力推动本土海洋人才的国际化培养，赋能绿色航运、港口脱碳与深远海装备等前沿方向的高质量发展，为全球蓝色经济与海洋可持续发展贡献更多“鹭江智慧”与中国力量。
据悉，“2026海洋远见·宁波行”于2026年9月22日至23日在宁波文创港盛大举行，汇聚了全球海洋领域的顶尖专家学者与行业领袖，围绕海洋经济、绿色航运、人才发展等议题展开了广泛而深入的碰撞。此外，IMarEST中国代表处已于2025年11月在宁波正式揭牌成立，系该学会在中国设立的首个官方代表处。
At the "2026 Ocean Vision · Ningbo" event held on September 22, 2026, Dai Minhan - Director of the Fujian Ocean Innovation Center (Fujian-OI), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Tan Kah Kee Chair Professor at Xiamen University - was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and delivered a keynote speech.
At the same event, Prof. Choo Yoo Sang, Senior Visiting Scholar at Fujian-OI, Emeritus Chair Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and Advisor to The Technology Centre for Offshore and Marine, Singapore (TCOMS), was honored with the Recognition of Contributions to International Marine Professional Development.
Charting the Blue Frontier:
A Historic First for Chinese Marine Science
Founded in 1889 as the Institute of Marine Engineers, IMarEST, headquartered in London, is the world’s premier international professional body and learned society for marine engineering, science, and technology. Fellowship represents IMarEST's highest grade of membership, historically reserved for preeminent leaders who have made extraordinary contributions and demonstrated exceptional leadership across the global marine sector.
Prof. Dai Minhan’s election as an IMarEST Fellow is not only a profound international endorsement of his academic excellence, but also marks the first time a scholar from China’s marine science community has received this highest distinction, reflecting the global community's high regard for his pioneering contributions to marine science, technology, and interdisciplinary integration.
Bridging Disciplines:
Empowering a Sustainable Ocean Future via Cross-Disciplinary Innovation
As a strategic scientist operating at the vanguard of international marine research, Prof. Dai has long championed the deep integration of marine science, technology, and engineering.
He recognizes that the increasingly complex challenges confronting our global ocean can no longer be resolved through isolated disciplinary lenses. Meaningful progress demands breaking down traditional disciplinary boundaries by harmonizing cutting-edge fundamental science, advanced marine engineering, sound ocean governance, and innovative blue-finance —all anchored by a rigorous commitment to co-design.
In his acceptance remarks, Prof. Dai shared profound reflections on this vision, noting that becoming an IMarEST Fellow is less a personal accolade than a solemn responsibility to serve as an "Ocean Ambassador":
“We must not only catalyze interdisciplinary and cross-border collaboration — safeguarding our blue planet through an ecosystem paradigm of (Science + Technology + Governance + Finance) × Co-design², but also pass the torch across generations, building robust bonds of learning and mentorship to empower the next wave of marine leadership.”
Furthermore, Prof. Dai delivered a keynote speech titled Evolution and Tipping Dynamics of Complex Coastal Zone Systems —Understanding and Managing Critical Transitions in Coastal Zones under Human and Climate Stresses, sharing fresh insights from his cutting-edge research and engaging global delegates in deep dialogues regarding the mechanisms of coastal system dynamics and scalable adaptation pathways.
Joining Hands:
Deepening International Cooperation for a Shared Blue Vision
Prof. Choo Yoo Sang, who received the Recognition of Contributions to International Marine Professional Development at the event, was the first Asian President in IMarEST’s history and is now an Honorary Fellow. He has devoted his career to advancing global marine professionals standards.
Capitalizing on this momentous occasion, the Fujian-OI delegation engaged in high-level dialogues with IMarEST leadership and global experts. Moving forward, both parties will leverage this high-tier international platform to introduce world-class engineering standards, elite think-tank resources, and international professional accreditation frameworks.
This strategic direction precisely mirrors Fujian-OI’s mission and vision: "Rooted in the frontiers, connected globally, and serving China's national maritime strategy." Building upon this milestone, Fujian-OI will further elevate its strategic partnerships with IMarEST and leading international academic and industrial entities, jointly fostering world-class marine talent, catalyzing high-quality advancements in green shipping, port decarbonization, and deep-sea engineering equipment, and contributing robust "Fujian-OI Wisdom" and Chinese expertise to the global blue economy and ocean sustainability.
About the Event
The "2026 Ocean Vision · Ningbo" event took place from September 22 to 23, 2026, at the Ningbo Cultural and Creative Port, convening top-tier experts, scholars, and industry pioneers worldwide for dynamic exchanges centered on the marine economy, green shipping, and talent cultivation. Notably, the IMarEST China Office was officially inaugurated in Ningbo in November 2025, serving as the Institute's inaugural official representative office in China.
