Completed GAME projects

All GAME projects are presented here in the overview. As of 2012, there is a final report in German for each project, which can be downloaded as a PDF.

There are also blogs by the teams from the various project years at www.oceanblogs.org.

At the beginning of 2011, the GAME Board of Trustees was founded. The declared aim of the Board of Trustees is to promote GAME, as the program particularly raises awareness of the importance of the oceans, promotes cultural exchange as well as the personal development of young scientists, sustainably networks them and qualifies them for the international academic job market. In the future, these aspects are to be communicated more to the general public, not least in order to draw the attention of further sponsors to GAME.

We would like to thank all sponsors who make GAME 2025 possible through their financial commitment!

You too can become a GAME sponsor!

GAME relies on financial support from companies, foundations and private individuals. With the help of our previous sponsors, numerous students from all over the world have been able to take part in this international training programme. To ensure that the programme can continue in the future, we are looking for sponsors who would like to get involved in marine research, the training of students and the international networking of scientists.

With your donation, you can enable future students from all over the world to participate in GAME, which combines applied research with an excellent education.
