FOREL is a sailing boat managed by the Forel Heritage Association and dedicated to oceanographic research in polar and sub-polar regions, specifically in coastal areas inaccessible to larger research vessels.
In summer 2025, FOREL will be operating along the western coast of Greenland and welcomes Swiss-led scientific projects to work on board during the months of July and August. SPI is pleased to offer interested scientists employed at a Swiss public research institution the opportunity to join this Swiss-operated research platform in the Arctic during this timeframe.
