Guest science team endeavours to support external scientists and university courses in their work at the Marine Station Helgoland and the Wadden Sea Station List/Sylt. We aim to network our guests with AWI staff at both stations to maximize the benefits derived from their research and to facilitate national and international science and education co-operationsThe stations are a hub for national and transnational access for visiting scientists in the German Bight. For over fifty years, the stations have also served as centres for student education by providing facilities for university courses.
