Drawing on mankind’s earliest spirit of adventure, nine teams of FAU researchers and international peers will forge new ideas together on the sailing ship ‘Thor Heyerdahl’ in the summer of 2017. 

FAU researchers from the Chair of Endogenous Geodynamics decided to explore volcanism in the western Aegean up close and have just returned from an expedition on the research ship ‘Poseidon’. 

For the third year in succession, FAU is ranked as the academic institution that has produced the most widely cited publications in Germany.
