Research Vessel

Together with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the DFG maintains two research vessels, the MARIA S. MERIAN and the METEOR. They serve as support for basic research in a range of different scientific disciplines. The vessels are funded by the DFG as “central research facilities”.
