On July 30th, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Trung Cang – Vice Rector of Kien Giang University said that the University had just sent 4 students to attend the training course on “Prevention, reduction and recycling of fishing gear waste in Vietnam’s seas” (NET – WORKS) at OSTFALIA University of Applied Sciences, Federal Republic of Germany.

The student group participated in the training course in Germany for one month with activities such as: exploring the primeval forest, practicing making videos of the journey from Vietnam to Germany, practicing plastic classification - an activity of the project, joining workshops related to making videos and other communicative activities.

This was a cooperative activity between Kien Giang University (Vietnam) and OSTFALIA University of Applied Sciences (Germany) within the framework of the project to create opportunities to promote the development of applied scientific research, creating conditions for students to experience and learn from practical applications as well as improve their capacity and adaptability in the international working environment.

Students of Kien Giang University attended the training project “Prevention, reduction and recycling of fishing gear waste in Vietnam’s seas” (NET – WORKS)

at OSTFALIA University of Applied Sciences in Germany.

“The goal of the project, in addition to establishing international and national cooperative relationships to exchange and improve lecturers and officials’ research and teaching capacity of the schools, also contributing to raising awareness of environmental protection and recycling of plastic waste for the community.

In addition, Vietnamese universities also took advantage of the project's cooperative relationship to create conditions for students to exchange and share experiences to develop skills, especially in communicative work to raise public awareness of environmental protection”, emphasized Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Trung Cang.

The project “Prevention, reduction and recycling of fishing gear waste in Vietnam’s coastal areas” (NET-WORKS) was implemented by Osfalia University of Applied Sciences (Germany) in collaboration with Nha Trang University, Kien Giang University, Ha Long University and other partners in Vietnam. The project focused on solving the problem of fishing gear waste in Vietnam’s coastal areas to reduce the amount of unused, lost or discarded fishing nets, raise awareness to avoid fishing gear loss for businesses/fishermen and fisheries management agencies as well as Vietnamese society in general.

The project also aimed to reduce environmental impacts and create markets for recycled raw materials from these sources to create a closed value chain.
