A lecturer stands at the front of a teaching room addressing an audience seated at desks. Two projected slides behind the speaker show a presentation titled “Riser drilling, downhole logging, mud logging in D/V Chikyu,” with an image of a research vessel and Mount Fuji. Laptops and water bottles are visible on the desks.

A group of people stand in conversation in a seminar room during the ECORD Summer School. One person holds a plate while speaking, others listen closely. Posters and chairs are visible in the background, indicating an academic networking or discussion setting.
