Research Exchange of HOSST and TOSST 

A hallmark of the HOSST-TOSST joint programm is the co-supervison of the individual PhD projects across the atlantic. Each HOSSTie and each TOSSTie has a supervisor at GEOMAR or Kiel University, Kiel Germany and at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. 

Another key element of the HOSST and TOSST schools is an extended (3-6 month) stay in the partner institute with their co-supervisor either at the Kiel University and/or GEOMAR, Kiel, Germany or at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. During these stays, each student has the opportunity for close collaboration with the working groups in the host labs (including access to analytical facilities which in many cases differ from those in the home institute), the chance to interact with their peers studying in a different system, and the chance to experience different scientific approaches and working styles. The HOSST and TOSST students worked on special topics related to their PhD during the stay at the co-supervisors lab.
