International Cooperation

"Ocean Horizons" is our flag ship activity to promote international cooperation, knowledge exchange and scientific capacity building. The main objective of international cooperation in"Future Ocean" is to attract the best and brightest scientific minds to Kiel and to bind them to Kiel Marine Sciences. Contact with other researchers and institutions forges new ideas. The broader the experience of our scientists, the higher the innovation potential and competitiveness of Kiel Marine Science will be. We are always carefully expanding our established partnerships with institutes in Europe and abroad and our engagement in international projects. In the field of capacity building we engage in non-OECD countries, most strongly in Cape Verde, and host the UNESCO Chair for Integrated Marine Sciences.
