This ship, dubbed "Earth 300," uses cutting-edge science and technology to study global issues such as climate change and the deterioration of the marine environment. It is expected to play an active role as a next-generation platform that leads to solutions.
In "Earth 300", 160 scientists who lead the world regardless of fields such as land, oceans, aviation, and space, and 20 people from various fields such as entrepreneurs, economists, engineers, explorers, artists, etc. 20 professionals and 20 students on each voyage. The vision is that they will cooperate and provide an open source platform that will lead to the solution of various problems occurring in the world.
