Conference Transcript of the Status Conference Research Vessels 2024

About two years after the conclusion of their cruise, Chief Scientists receive a request from the GPF head office to present key scientific findings of the cruise. The scientific contributions to the conference are summarized in a conference transcript. The GPF decides on the basis of the submitted scientific contributions and during the Status Conference, whether a cruise is considered formally completed.
