⛵️ Setting sail for science! Today, ten stude ⛵️ Setting sail for science! Today, ten students from Rostock (Germany) and Klaipėda (Lithuania) set off aboard the Universitas for an exciting Baltic Sea journey. Over the next days, they will sail via Bornholm and Grönhögen to Klaipėda, where an international conference and exchange await. On 24 September, the crew will return to Rostock. ⚓️ On board, the students are not just sailors - they are citizen scientists. Using a compact sensor unit, they will measure temperature, oxygen levels, and other environmental parameters, contributing to long-term Baltic Sea research alongside IOW – Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research.🔬🌊 With moderate winds and calm seas forecasted, the first days promise perfect conditions to combine teamwork, adventure, and hands-on science. Local radio NDR was on site yesterday to learn about the project and report on the start of the journey ✨ Follow their journey in our Instagram stories over the next two weeks and see science in action at sea! #EUCONEXUS #CitizenScience #BalticSea #StudentProject #SailingScience #europeanuniversities
