2026年4月27日，福建海洋可持续发展研究院（厦门大学）（以下简称“闽海院”）举行厦门大学海岸带可持续发展奖学金（以下简称“SCD奖学金”）留学生年度进展汇报会。该奖学金由闽海院管理及运作。来自东盟国家的9名在读奖学金生（博士5人、硕士4人）围绕学业进展、科研参与、论文选题及未来规划等进行汇报，闽海院院长薛雄志教授及项目管理办公室成员共同参会。
本次会议旨在系统了解奖学金生的学习科研进展，探索构建“资助—跟踪—反馈—提升”的全链条培养机制，推动从经济资助向能力建设的深度转化。汇报会上，奖学金生课程成绩优良，科研参与度较高，研究方向聚焦海岸带可持续发展前沿。部分学生已取得阶段性成果并参与国际学术交流，多名奖学金生计划毕业后继续深造或回国推动中国与东盟国家间的海洋科研合作。薛雄志院长在听取汇报后表示，同学们的课题研究令人印象深刻，期待未来能与大家开展更深入的合作研究，并欢迎随时反馈想法与建议，以促进更紧密的合作。
SCD奖学金项目不仅是经济资助，更是面向东盟的海洋可持续发展能力建设平台。项目以留学生为纽带，推动中国与东盟国家在蓝碳、红树林保护、海洋生物资源可持续利用等领域的深度合作，培育具有国际视野的海洋领域高素质人才。未来，闽海院将持续依托“海岸带可持续发展能力建设实验室”，将奖学金项目与《“海丝”沿线国家海岸带可持续发展能力指数》等公共产品相结合，服务“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设，促进区域人才培养与知识网络的持续联通与深度融合。

On April 27, 2026, the Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans (hereinafter referred to as “FISO”) held an annual progress review meeting for international students supported by the Xiamen University Sustainable Coastal Development Scholarship (hereinafter referred to as the “SCD Scholarship”), which is operated by FISO. Nine scholarship recipients from ASEAN countries — including five doctoral students and four master’s students — presented updates on their academic works, research progress, thesis topics, and future plans. The meeting was attended by Professor Xue Xiongzhi, Dean of FISO, together with members from FISO’s administration office.
The meeting aimed to review the students’ academic and research progress while exploring a comprehensive cultivation mechanism integrating “funding, monitoring, feedback, and capacity enhancement,” thereby promoting a transition from financial support to broader capacity building. During the presentations, the scholarship recipients demonstrated strong academic performance and active engagement in research, with research topics focusing on frontier issues in sustainable coastal development. Several students have already achieved preliminary research outcomes and participated in international academic exchanges. Many expressed their intention to pursue further studies after graduation or contribute to marine scientific cooperation between China and ASEAN countries upon returning to their home countries. Following the presentations, Professor Xue Xiongzhi commended the students for their impressive research topics and looked forward to potential academic collaborations. He also encouraged them to share their ideas and suggestions at any time to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation.
The SCD Scholarship Program is not merely a source of financial assistance, but also a platform for advancing capacity building in marine sustainable development across ASEAN countries. Using international students as a bridge, the program promotes deeper cooperation between China and ASEAN countries in areas such as blue carbon, mangrove conservation, and the sustainable utilization of marine biological resources, while cultivating high-level marine professionals with global perspectives. Moving forward, FISO will continue to leverage the resources of the “Sustainable Coastal Development Capacity-Building Research Lab” to further integrate the scholarship program with public goods initiatives such as the Capacity Index of Sustainable Coastal Development for Countries along the Maritime Silk Road, thereby supporting the development of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and promoting sustained regional connectivity and integration in talent cultivation and networks.
