The second RoOT Summer School of the Ocean Technology Campus took place from September 11th to 22nd. Once again, thirteen participants from five countries had the opportunity to further their education, exchange ideas, and engage in discussions on ocean technology. Within the Future Cluster Ocean Technology Campus, the University of Rostock collaborates with various institutes and companies in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to develop sustainable solutions for the future use of the seas. Participants gained a deep insight into the cluster projects of the Ocean Technology Campus, characterized by interdisciplinary work between research and industry.
The focus of the summer school was the development of a prototype for an ascending and descending floater, which can be used to measure salinity and temperature. Additionally, participants learned about the extensive work involved in scientific sampling on research vessels and how both small startups and large established companies are advancing their underwater technology development and projects.
