„Hola“ and Hello from Vigo, Spain. I’m Fabian and I’m the sole member of this year’s team in Spain. Saapuminen. Llegar. Koma. Chegando. Tiba. 到着. Ankommen. All these words above just mean one thing: Arrival – in a new place, a new country. Managing this task alone is difficult and nerve-wracking especially in the beginning. But since […]
The preparations for a new GAME project have started. On March 2nd, the GAME teams of 2022 began with a series of daily online meetings, which, as it already was the case in 2021, replace the preparatory course that usually takes place at GEOMAR in Kiel. Waiving the face-to-face event was the consequence of the […]

Team Malaysia was initially supposed to consist of two members, Leonard and Marie, but despite numerous efforts to get Marie to Malaysia, her travel was finally not possible due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Darf man eine bestimmte Position vertreten und kann man jemals außerhalb der wissenschaftlichen Rolle wahrgenommen werden? Ein spannendes […]
Hola, ¿qué tal? We, Svea and Abel, are Team Spain. We are in the northwest of Spain in the region of Galicia, more exactly in Vigo. A city with about 300.000 inhabitants, located next to the Atlantic and surrounded by beautiful nature. Galicia is definitely an underestimated region in Spain. Very diverse, with amazing views […]
