National and Regional Networks

The National and Regional Network represent SOLAS around the world. Currently SOLAS has 33 scientific National and Regional Networks coordinated by 36 Representatives & 1 Regional Panel. Profiles and the National and Regional Reports of the Network can be found below.

The Representatives and Regional Panel serve to promote SOLAS-related research worldwide. The current 36 representatives & 1 Regional Panel strengthen their local research community by fostering the local network through communication and activities. Beyond that, the Representatives and Regional Panel compile an annual report that summarises research results and highlights of their local network.

This valuable and unique documentation makes SOLAS-related research more visible and accessible. The reports represent an incredibly important source of information. Download and read the National and Regional Reports!

Is there no SOLAS Network in your country and are you interested in volunteering as a representative? Contact the SOLAS IPO via solas@geomar.de.
