| International Summer Program
The 21st Century Center of Excellence (COE) Program, University of the Ryukyus, provides an international summer program to approximately ten international students for two months every year. Studies are focused on the biodiversity of coral reef and island ecosystems. Preeminent researchers are invited to give lectures on diverse approaches to biodiversity. The students can gain research experience through experiments and field investigations in cooperation with the lecturers. Focus of the Summer Program in 2007: The aim of the 2007 summer program is to promote better understandings about population dynamics, reproduction, development and symbiosis of corals. Students will learn the above topics through lectures given by internationally recognized coral researchers and get hand-on experiences through working with them. Each student will participate in one of the following projects. In each project, there will be 3-4 teams, which will study independent but related subjects. Participants will try to prepare manuscripts based on the results obtained during the summer program.
