Trevor Platt Science Foundation (TPSF) Symposium & Training

POGO provided support for the Trevor Platt Science Foundation (TPSF) Symposium, held at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (9 – 11 August 2023). It was preceded by a training course “Satellite-based tools for investigating aquatic ecosystems“. Together, these events aimed to carry forward Trevor’s legacy in ocean research and international collaboration. The symposium included keynote and invited lectures, oral and poster presentations, and networking sessions.

The Trevor Platt Science Foundation (TPSF) was launched in Aug 2021 to promote capacity building, research, and education in ocean sciences, with a strong emphasis on international networking, to nurture the next generation of young scientists and give them the tools they need to succeed in their chosen careers. The Foundation is also serving as a forum that brings together Trevor’s colleagues and students in the spirit of collaboration.
