We are delighted to announce that the AFCSO official website and social media platforms are now officially online.
The official website will serve as an important online platform for the association. It will be used primarily for event promotion, the publication of association news and announcements, and for providing services such as membership registration, conference registration, volunteer activity announcements, as well as sharing information on opportunities in the field of ocean sciences between China and France, including postdoctoral positions, PhD opportunities, internships, and summer schools.
The establishment of this platform is intended to better support the mission and development needs of the association, and to further promote academic exchange, collaborative research, and youth talent connections between China and France in the field of ocean sciences.
At the same time, the association’s social media platforms have also been launched. Through these channels, we will continue to share association updates, event announcements, collaboration opportunities, and relevant information from the field, in order to foster broader communication and outreach.
We warmly welcome all those interested in Sino-French exchange and cooperation in ocean sciences to follow us, support us, and take part in our future activities.

Franco-Chinese Ocean Science Cooperation and Youth Initiative & Visit of the French Embassy in China S&T Delegation to IOCAS
[img:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yutongzhangsci/AFCSO/refs/heads/main/lulu_embassy.jpg] On March 24th, we had the chance to take part in the visit of the Science and Technology delegation from the French Embassy in China to the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) in Qingdao, led by Xavier Antoine, Hélène Berges and Aïman Lavallard-Fadlane. The meeting brought together researchers and people involved in Franco-Chinese cooperation in marine sciences. On this occasion, we were pleased to present our initiative, the “Association Franco-Chinoise des Sciences de l’Océan”. This project aims to strengthen exchanges between young French and Chinese researchers by promoting collaboration, mobility, and the sharing of experiences between the two scientific communities. The presentation sparked strong interest and positive feedback from the embassy representatives. The discussions highlighted how relevant this initiative is in the current context of scientific cooperation between France and China, and opened up encouraging perspectives for its future development. More broadly, the day was also a great opportunity to exchange on existing collaborations between French and Chinese institutions, in particular between IOCAS (China) and the MIO (Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography, France). We warmly thank the French Embassy in China as well as all the IOCAS teams for their welcome and support, which help foster new dynamics of cooperation, especially for early-career researchers.
