The COSEE network is driven by its goals of developing effective broader impacts of ocean science and integrating cutting-edge ocean research into educational programs and activities. This workshop was a first step at sharing best practices between two significant countries in a field (science education) that has not traditionally shared all its learning through peer-reviewed literature. Innovative and effective educational programs should result quickly from this collaboration.
The workshop resulted in new learning about educational practice in both the US and China that impacted the educational practice of the individual participants and their personal networks. The workshop provided the building blocks for new collaborations in research and education between participants and their networks.
