Educational Activities


 There are several courses running at NU-MBL. Spring laboratory courses are for undergraduate students of the School of Science, Nagoya University. Summer courses are available for other undergraduate and graduate students; one course is for non-Japanese students (run in English). In these courses, students will collect and sketch several marine organisms from the incredibly rich fauna and flora on the shores of Sugashima Island. They will design and carry out their original experiments to solve questions which are made by themselves. Our facilities and accommodation are particularly useful for scientists interested in development, taxonomy, ethology, geology, cell biology etc. In addition, we accept marine laboratory courses organized by other university; we offer our facilities and materials (e.g. sea urchin for fertilization experiment). We welcome every student and researcher!
