Coordination meeting

Coordination meetings serve as a mutual information and coordination exchange between the chief scientist, involved working groups, the German Research Fleet Coordination Centre and the shipping company. The captain of the cruise should attend the meetings if possible. If the captain is unable to come, he is represented by the Coordination Centre or by a competent employee of the shipping company.

The following agenda has proved to be successful in the past years and provides all essential topics open for discussion:
