Research facilities

Research into the abilities of marine mammals, octopuses and penguins is being carried out – and has been carried out – on the institute’s research vessel, the ‘Lichtenberg’, which is moored at the Hohe Düne Marina. Visitors are warmly invited to experience scientific life first-hand from the observation decks of the institute’s research vessel (Science live).

The Institute of Biological Sciences in Rostock’s Südstadt district houses laboratories that are mainly used for carrying out physical measurements. This research is accessible only to registered visitors.
