The expedition 2006-2007   Here you can read about the vision that is the driving force behind Galathea 3, about the ship that will take the expedition on its voyage around the Earth, about the route it will follow and the research to be carried out onboard.

Scientific research, dissemination of information, educational perspectives and good seamanship

Galathea 3 is the largest Danish scientific expedition for more than 50 years. The aim of the expedition is to strengthen Danish scientific research, not just by virtue of the research projects that have been included in the expedition, but also in relation to the recruitment of the coming generations of research scientists.

The foundations of Galathea 3 and all the educational perspectives and dissemination of information activities surrounding the expedition consist of the total of 71 research projects that will be on board when the navy surveillance vessel Vaedderen (‘The Ram’) sails around the World from August 2006 until April 2007. The ship has room for approximately 35 research scientists onboard, in addition to whom there will be just under a dozen journalists, photographers and TV crew members, plus a couple of students and their teacher. And then, of course, the 50-man crew, who are to keep the ship sailing, maintain the course and perform the many other tasks necessary onboard a ship that accommodates nearly 100 people.
