The training will start in September 2019 and will end in summer 2020. The target beneficiaries are the ocean experts of the future and the programme will focus on training postgraduate students (Masters or PhD) of marine-related science and technology. Priority will be given to students from less developed countries. Diversity of race, gender and ethnicity will be encouraged and will promote cultural exchange and understanding. The call for applications will be open from the middle of December 2018 to end of February 2019. Successful candidates will be informed by the end of May 2019.

The training will promote excellence in integrated, multidisciplinary oceanography at a global scale. Scholars will receive ten months of training to include one month of formal introductory training, followed by more detailed courses emphasizing core skills (e.g. writing, scientific presentations, statistics and experimental design) and specialized scientific topics such as modelling, remote sensing, data management, advanced chemical oceanography. Scholars will also receive training in instrumentation, sample collection and analytical protocols. Each scholar will conduct an independent research project during the programme. The scientific staff of AWI can mentor research projects in numerous fields as it is diverse, with strength in many areas of Observational Oceanography; the scientists on Helgoland and Sylt have unique expertise in biology, ecology, time-series work and coastal processes.
