On July 30th, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Trung Cang – Vice Rector of Kien Giang University said that the University has 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 group of students participated in the training course in Germany in one month with the activities of visiting the primeval forest, practicing making a video of the journey from Vietnam to Germany, participating in plastic classification practice - an activity of the project, participating in workshops related to making videos and other communication 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, create 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 not only establishes international and domestic cooperation relationships to exchange and improve the research and teaching capacity of lecturers and staff of the schools, but also contributes to the purpose of raising awareness of environmental protection and recycling of plastic waste for the community. In addition, Vietnamese universities also take 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 focuses on solving the problem of fishing gear waste in Vietnam’s coastal areas to reduce the amount of unused, lost or discarded fishing nets, and raising awareness to avoid fishing gear loss for businesses/fishermen and fisheries management agencies as well as Vietnamese society in general. The project also aims to reduce environmental impacts and create markets for recycled raw materials from these sources to create a closed value chain.
