Summer School jointly organised by:
- EARSeL’s Special Interest Group Education & Training
- Faculty of Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia
- Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Kaliningrad, Russia
- Institute of Physics, University of Oldenburg, Germany
- Museum of the World Ocean, Kaliningrad, Russia
- The Atlantic Branch of P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Kaliningrad, Russia
and held in the premises of the Museum of the World Ocean in Kaliningrad, Russia, on 10-13 July 2017.
Lecturer Meeting on 13 July, 14-17h
Lecturers and other interested participants met on 13 July afternoon for a strategy meeting. Focus will be on the creation of new educational material for different school and university levels in natural sciences, mathematics and engineering, and for authorities responsible for monitoring and surveillance of the marine environment. The outcome was a bundle of project ideas, to be elaborated by partner consortia, and submitted to national and European funding agencies. Elaboration of proposals will be done in late 2017.

The 3rd Student Workshop on Ecology and Optics of Coastal Zones was a 4-day education and training event with a focus on optical oceanography and remote sensing of coastal waters. It followed a workshop at the Museum of the World Ocean in 2016, and a first workshop at the White Sea, Republic of Karelia, in 2014.
Topics
The Workshop will be a 4-day training event for master and PhD students interested in environmental research. The programme includes:
- Plenary lectures presented by international researchers on the current use of optical methods, including in situ and remote sensing, for environmental research and monitoring
- Individual study groups for an in-depth evaluation of selected methods of optical analysis and their relevance for an understanding of marine ecosystems, followed by presentations in plenary sessions
- Demonstrations and practical exercises with optical instruments for environmental research in the rooms of the Museum of the World Ocean
- Plenary presentation and discussion of results obtained in the practical programmes
- Presentation of student projects, e.g. master and PhD theses, in oral presentations and with posters
