2022 School (in Nigeria)

We were very excited to host our first school in Nigeria and our first hybrid in-person/virtual school! The in-person portion of COESSING 2022 was held in Lagos, Nigeria from August 1-5, 2022. There were about 100 in-person participants, with most days hosted at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and a one-day field trip to Nigerian Institute For Oceanography And Marine Research (NIOMR). The virtual participants watched the streaming in-person lectures in the morning, and then had dedicated virtual programming of lectures, panels, and interactive tutorials in the afternoon. #COESSING22 #COESSING
