On this occasion, FOREL is launching a call for scientific proposals for researchers interested in joining the vessel and contributing to the study and conservation of Arctic marine ecosystems.
Call for proposals open until October 15
Proposed projects may explore a range of topics related to polar marine environments, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches and collaboration with local communities and stakeholders.
As scientific capacity on board is limited, projects will be selected based on their relevance and complementarity.
Deadline for submissions: October 15, 2026 at 12:00 CET
