Support Skagerak Facility

The ocean holds answers to many of the greatest challenges of our time. By supporting the Skagerak Facility, you help enable advanced research, education and innovation at sea. Together, we contribute to increased knowledge of everything from dynamic coastal ecosystems to the unexplored depths of the deep ocean.

The Skagerak Facility is the University of Gothenburg’s marine research infrastructure. It includes the high-technology research vessel R/V Skagerak, together with advanced marine equipment, technical expertise, and support for research and education at sea.

Why your support matters
