The Second Training Course on Key Technologies of Insect Diversity Pattern Assessment and Intelligent Monitoring System in the Belt & Road Region Notification of Enrolment (Round 1)

1. Introduction

The “One Belt,One Road” is a major international cooperation initiative proposed by China and an important practical platform to promote the building of a community of human destiny. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the “One Belt,One Road” initiative and the depth and breadth of international exchange has reached a new level as the number of countries and regions joining the initiative is increasing. At the same time,maintaining the balance of biodiversity and sustainable development is an important challenge for the countries of the “Belt and Road” Initiative.

Along with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),protecting,restoring,and promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and curbing biodiversity loss is one of the solutions to the serious challenges facing the world today. At the beginning of the 21st century,under the advocacy of the international Convention on Biological Diversity,with the effective implementation of projects such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment,the Global Environment Outlook and the International Biodiversity Programme,the biodiversity monitoring and assessment system has been gradually established and improved, which has played an important role in biodiversity conservation.

Insects are the most successfully evolved group on Earth,with more than one million known extant species,accounting for over 90% of the animal kingdom and 54% of the total number of species in the entire biological world. They are an important component of the Earth's biodiversity, but also one of the most difficult taxa to monitor and assess. In this context, Professor Ming Bai of Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor Alfried P. Vogler of the Natural History Museum London U.K. jointly initiated the “SITE-100 International Mega-Science” Initiative, which aims to reveal global insect diversity patterns and formation mechanisms through the construction of more than 100 standard sample sites and standardized analysis processes worldwide.

In order to meet the global challenges of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development,the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully held the first training course on key technologies of insect diversity assessment and intelligent monitoring system in the Belt and Road region in October 2023,and achieved remarkable results.

First results review

Participants: 22 foreign participants from 17 countries including Germany,France,Britain,Italy,South Korea,Mongolia,Nepal,South Africa,Kenya,Ecuador,Indonesia (selected from 156 applicants from 96 organizations in 43 countries around the world),39 Chinese participants and 47 Professors from China,Britain,Germany,France and other countries participated.

Training content: During the 16-day training,52 theoretical lectures,11 experimental training,3 days field practice,and 18 cooperative exchange activities were carried out,with a total of 100 hours of class time;

Gain influence: Reported by 30 authoritative media such as Xinhua News Agency,CCTV Evening News,Guangming Daily,and China Daily,showing the global attention of the"Belt and Road"ecological cooperation.

In this context,the training course will continue the successful experience of the first session,further deepen the international cooperation network,promote the standardization of intelligent monitoring technology for insect diversity,and contribute to global biodiversity conservation actions.

2. Student registration

This course will help to improve the capacity of insect diversity survey and monitoring in the “Belt and Road” countries by teaching basic theoretical knowledge and cutting-edge research techniques in insect diversity and cross-disciplines,train international talents in related fields,build a research network for young scientists.

Young scholars,especially those in the fields of Entomology, Zoology, Ecology and Biodiversity,as well as post-docs and doctoral students,who are interested in conducting research on the assessment and monitoring of insect diversity patterns in the Belt and Road countries and regions are invited to apply. Twenty free quota of applicants(In principle,one person from each country can be selected,and if necessary,two students from the same country can share a quota)will be offered and participants will be selected based on their nationality and qualifications. The list of the Belt and Road countries could be found from this link (https://eng.yidaiyilu.gov.cn/info/iList.jsp?cat_id=10076&cur_page=1). 

3. Training content

The training course will be hosted by Prof. Ming Bai from Institute of Zoology,Chinese Academy of Sciences. The course will be delivered in a trinity of indoor theoretical lectures,software operation,and outdoor field practice training. Well-known scholars from Jena University of Germany,University of Helsinki of Finland,the University of Hong Kong, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore,universities or institutes from mainland China will be invited to deliver the course. The specific training schedule will be released in the second round of notification.

4. Training formats

第二屆“一帶一路”地區昆蟲多樣性格局評估與智能監測體係關鍵技術培訓班報名通知（第一輪）

1. 培訓班背景簡介

共建“一帶一路”是中國推動構建人類命運共同體的重大國際合作倡議，是推動構建人類命運共同體的重要實踐平台。十二年來，隨著參與國家和地區的持續增加，國際科技合作與生態治理需求不斷深化。

伴隨聯合國可持續發展目標（SDGs）的提出，保護、恢複和促進可持續利用陸地生態係統、遏製生物多樣性喪失是解決當今世界麵臨的嚴峻挑戰的方案之一。21世紀初，在國際《生物多樣性公約》的倡導下，隨著千年生態係統評估、全球環境展望、國際生物多樣性計劃等項目的有效實施，生物多樣性監測評價指標體係逐步建立和完善，對生物多樣性保護發揮了重要作用。

昆蟲是地球上進化最為成功的生物群體，已知現生種數超過100萬，占據動物界的90%以上和整個生物界總種數的54%，是構成地球生物多樣性的重要組成部分，但也是最難監測和評估的類群之一。在此背景下，必威精装版app西汉姆联 白明研究員和英國自然曆史博物館Vogler教授聯合發起了“SITE-100國際大科學計劃”，通過全球構建100個以上標準樣地和標準化分析流程，揭示全球昆蟲多樣性格局和形成機製。

本培訓班旨在促進“一帶一路”地區科技培訓與合作，在昆蟲多樣性格局評估、昆蟲智能監測體係等方麵形成技術標準體係，構建“一帶一路”昆蟲多樣性格局評估與智能監測體係聯盟。通過共同努力以破除單一國家無法解決的生態矛盾，踐行人類命運共同體的全球價值觀。

為應對生物多樣性保護與可持續發展的全球性挑戰，必威精装版app西汉姆联 於2023年10月成功舉辦首屆“一帶一路”地區昆蟲多樣性格局評估與智能監測體係關鍵技術培訓班，取得顯著成果。
