More than 100 students and its accompanying teacher from almost all Baltic Sea countries participate. This initiative aims to attract young people at an early stage for this challenging field of science. Attractive offers ranging from short lectures, applying of eLaerning modules, hands-on experiments to sampling onboard the IOW workboat “Klaashahn” and investigating of the derived samples.
