2020年，实验室发扬优势、突出特色、补上短板，持续健康发展。在科学研究方面，实验室在Nature Sustainability 、Nature Communications等国际高水平期刊上发表多篇论文，获得了多项省部级科技奖励，在人才引进和队伍建设方面成绩突出。建议实验室结合国家战略和地方需求，做好近中远期发展规划。

In 2020, MRU developed its strengths, highlighted its characteristics, and strengthened its points of weakness for sustainable and healthy development. In terms of scientific research, MRU published many papers in international high-level journals such as Nature Sustainability and Nature Communications, won several provincial and ministerial-level awards, and made outstanding achievements in the introduction and cultivation of talents. It was suggested that MRU should make a development plan, taking into account the national strategy and local needs.

Academician Si Zhang presided over the discussion and evaluation session. The members and experts reviewed the work report of MRU, highly affirmed the work of MRU in recent years, and made comments and suggestions on the mid- and long-term development planning and evaluation preparation. The members and experts suggested that the plan of MRU should fit in with the national 14th Five-Year Plan and further serve the national needs, make its position clear, maintain its advantages and features, strengthen the interdisciplinary intersection, support the development of original ideas and theories, and make technological progress and breakthroughs. In addition, Hainan University should strengthen the capacity building of MRU, increase the financial investment in its facilities, and give favorable policies in the institutional mechanism. Academician Si Zhang said that the achievements made in 2020 were precious and inspiring. He stressed that the next decade was a critical period for the development of marine disciplines, so MRU should follow China’s Vision 2035, set a strategic direction, build a research platform, undertake major national strategic tasks, and lead the organization of international scientific programs. He believed that MRU had become a model of China’s national key laboratories in the marine field in terms of management and internationalization, and hoped that MRU would continue its efforts to become an international first-class marine scientific research center in the next few years.
