For each expedition, an expedition programme is compiled by the expedition leader with the help of the PIs, which should cover the essential research aspects of the individual working groups. The programme must be submitted to the scientific coordination and to the editorial board (berichte.polarforschung@awi.de) at least 10 weeks before the start of the expedition.
For guidelines and instructions on creating the expedition programme using AWI-templates see http://awi.de/en/reports. Please note: Only template-based drafts will be accepted and edited. Please address any inquiries to berichte.polarforschung@awi.de.
A detailed expedition report must be submitted no later than 8 weeks after the end of the expedition by the chief scientist. Expedition reports are made available digitally as issues in the Berichte zur Polarforschung (BzPM). The report is prepared in close cooperation between the chief scientist and the leaders of the working groups on the expedition. The first versions of the individual contributions should already be collected by the chief scientist at the end of the expedition.
