Time schedule of the project
The period of the overall project is 3.5 years (2024 - 2027).
The practical phase (fieldwork) where children and parents will participate in the project will take place in 2025.
The Wadden Sea fieldwork will take place before summer holidays between May and June 2025, the Great Barrier Reef fieldwork will take place in school term 3 between July and September 2025. Both phases will last approx. 5 - 6 weeks.
The submission of the PhD thesis will be between January and June 2027. This is also when end-results will be available for public.
Final dates for participation will be published in due course when recruitment and fieldwork organisation have been finalised.
