Initiated in September 2014 the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the University of Mauritius and the University of Western Australia/Oceans Institute (UWA/OI) has enabled collaborations in various sectors of the Ocean Economy and Researches and Scientists of both Universities are now sharing their knowledge and expertise.
In the opening ceremony of the Training workshop on Baseline Coastal Data Acquisition organized by the Faculty of Ocean Studies, UoM , in collaboration with the (UWA/OI) , Prof Jhurry recalled that despite shortage of funds UoM is endeavouring to support the development of the emerging ocean economy for the Republic of Mauritius. “Not an easy task” he says. Hence the collaboration with a strong partner such as the (UWA/OI) is of great importance. He invited Prof Erika Techera, Director UWA Oceans Institute for further discussions regarding tech transfer and to show to the industry tangible possibilities for development in the ocean sector.
