Science sets sail this weekend from a berth at the Seefischmarkt in Kiel! Friedrich- Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) President, Professor Joachim Hornegger, will welcome the participants of the first leg of ‘Science Sets Sail’. Before the ship slips its berth at 17:00 on Saturday, July 15, media will also have access to the ship for an hour to speak to the participants and take photos.

The last of our teams taking part in the first leg of Science Sets Sail is the GeoZentrum Nordbayern (GZN, or in English, the Geo-Centre of Northern Bavaria). Six FAU researchers will be joined by guests from seven institutions including the universities of Copenhagen, Krakow, Lund, and Hull.

This summer, a sailing ship full of international scientists will bring a mini science fair to five ports on the Baltic. We hope we’ll see you at one of our Science Sets Sail ‘Open Ship Days’!

The open sea is perhaps a poignant environment to discuss human rights issues and potential solutions. We introduce the second of our teams – CHREN – which will join the first leg of Science Sets Sail.

Who will be participating on the first leg of Science Sets Sail? We introduce our first team – FAPS

We’re no stranger to building strong international teams at FAU. But how does this differ from bringing together a cohesive crew for a voyage of scientific discovery?
