Kieler Forschungswerkstatt (Project coordination)
Kieler Forschungswerkstatt (Kiel Science Factory), the school laboratory of Kiel University and the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (IPN), is an out-of-school place of learning that focuses on various topics, such as marine sciences, energy, life on earth and nano-technology. Its key functions are to support grass-roots and elite science, as well as teacher training and development. At the “ocean:lab”, school pupils explore the habitat of seas and oceans and get to grips with current issues in the field of marine research. It is supported by the Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean”. All partners and sponsors of Kieler Forschungswerkstatt can be found here: www.forschungs-werkstatt.de/ueber-uns.Within Marine Mammals, the Kieler Forschungswerkstatt is responsible for the development of teaching materials and units, e.g. expedition boxes. Furthermore, it is organizing and conducting summer schools, teacher trainings and symposia.
The coordination of the Marine Mammals Project is located here.

The Kiel Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean”
The Kiel Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean” is a marine research network of more than 200 scientists from the Kiel University (CAU), the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, the Institute for the World Economy (IfW) and the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design (MKHS). The goal of the interdisciplinary network of marine scientists, economics experts and medical, mathematics, legal and social scientists is to investigate ocean and climate change together, to reevaluate the risks and opportunities and enable world-wide sustainable management of the oceans and their marine resources. The Future Ocean is funded within the framework of the Excellence Initiative of the German Science Foundation on behalf of the German federal and state governments.www.futureocean.org
