The goal of this online activity is to reduce the geographic and academic isolation of students in Papua and build a regional network of Indonesian students, lecturers, and researchers interested in marine physics. The school consists of seven structured sessions delivered between August and October 2026. The school aims to strengthen conceptual understanding of physics through marine and climate related phenomena, introduce students to international academic networks, and improve science communication skills. The program primarily targets physics and science students in Papua, but remains open to participants from other regions of Indonesia.
Topics:
Fundamental Physics for Marine Studies
