The German Ocean Foundation invites school students from the 9th grade to enter the annual “Research at Sea” ocean competition with proposals for innovative marine research ideas aligned with the UN Ocean Decade outcomes.
Each summer student teams can win a research week on board the ALDEBARAN to conduct their own projects in the North or Baltic Sea, with the support and guidance of a qualified marine researcher and an experienced crew. 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the competition which has seen nearly 80 teams explore topics such as the concentration of PFAs in coastal waters, the presence of invasive species in Baltic Sea ports and the microclimate of seagrass meadows in the North Sea.
