MarTech - The virtual institute for development of Marine Technologies

To further strengthen the cooperation between Universities and Research Centres the HGF launched the special program "Impuls- und Vernetzungsfonds" to support Virtual Institutes.

Virtual Institutes, where researchers and engineers from different locations and faculties collaborate and join their expertise, support the Knowledge Transfer and Technical Innovation. In the focus of MarTech is the development of sensors, sampling systems, and software for use in advanced devices as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) und Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).

The ROV Quest is an example for the available infrastructure for underwater operation and marine research technology.
