UNU-FTP Director Attends Celebratory Conference at Dalian Ocean University

Last week, Dr. Tumi Tomasson, Director of the United Nations University Training Programme paid a visit to Dalian Ocean University for a celebration of the University's 60th anniversary and the World Conference on the Oceans.

The Dalian Ocean University has a longstanding history of cooperation with the UNU-FTP, which has trained several fellows who work with the University. At the conference, Dr. Tomasson had the opportunity to visit several former UNU-FTP fellows from China who have continued to excel in the field of fisheries since completing the six-month training programme in Iceland.
