The oceans cover ~70% of our planet and provide food, energy, environments, and resources that sustain life. Throughout history and into the future the oceans will be the principal pathways for human migration and commerce, with ships carrying more than 90% of global trade. Ports and coasts remain magnets for human activity with more than a billion people living along the coast and almost half of the world's population resident within 150 km of the sea. The oceans provide significant resources but they also are increasingly a source of natural and human-enhanced hazards. We are the stewards of this vast ecosystem and require a pipeline of PhD scholars with a global perspective on these marine and maritime issues to ensure their sustainable development and exploitation. 3-6 month internships will be developed in both institutions to meet these strategically important needs for society; each internship underpinned by world-class facilities and excellent training environment provided by our funded Doctoral Training Programme SPITFIRE.The UoS is a world leader in the marine and maritime sector and NMMU is emerging as a leader in South Africa in this domain. PhD partnership activity will significantly enhance the skills and research capabilities of PhD scholars from both organisations; developing a cohort of 20 graduates that will have strong links to their hosting institution and a unique global perspective. The PhD exchange activity will be developed into a sustained institutional collaboration by annual staff exchange activity including Professional Services staff and development of an ongoing joint PhD programme.

海洋覆盖了地球约 70% 的面积，提供维持生命的食物、能源、环境和资源。纵观历史和未来，海洋将成为人类迁徙和商业的主要通道，船舶承载着全球 90% 以上的贸易。港口和海岸仍然是人类活动的磁石，超过 10 亿人生活在沿海地区，世界上近一半的人口居住在距离大海 150 公里范围内。海洋提供了大量资源，但它们也日益成为自然和人为灾害的来源。我们是这个庞大生态系统的管理者，需要一批对这些海洋和海事问题具有全球视野的博士学者，以确保其可持续发展和利用。两个机构都将开展为期 3-6 个月的实习，以满足这些具有战略意义的社会需求；每次实习都以我们资助的博士培训计划 SPITFIRE 提供的世界一流的设施和卓越的培训环境为基础。UoS 是海洋和海事领域的世界领导者，而 NMMU 正在成为南非该领域的领导者。博士伙伴关系活动将显着提高两个组织的博士学者的技能和研究能力；培养一批 20 名毕业生，他们将与所在机构建立紧密的联系并具有独特的全球视角。博士交流活动将通过年度员工交流活动（包括专业服务人员）和正在进行的联合博士项目的开发，发展成为持续的机构合作。
