Abstract: The acquisition of research data is essential to conductscientific working. However, to get to the bottom of aquestion on a research vessel, using complex sensor systemsand analyzing water samples is more than just collectingdata. It is a unique connection with the habitat under study,an awareness of its dimensions and variability, a moment oftrue “understanding”. Anyone who has applied, prepared, coordinated, evaluated anddocumented an expedition knows that the relatively short sampling period requirescareful and long advance planning. This is only possible because many people, partlyunnoticed are involved. Here I would like to express my thanks to them and emphasizetheir importance.Among the essential principles of science, the persistent critical exchange and theevaluation of research proposals within a discipline play an important role. For the fleetof German research vessels, since autumn 2017 the review and evaluation of the cruiseproposals for all ships has been carried out by a joint review process initiated by theBMBF, DFG and HGF. As a member of the newly founded Expert Panel Research Vessels(GPF) I am pleased to welcome you to the 1st Status Conference Research Vessels 2020at my home institute, the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment(ICBM) at the University of Oldenburg. May this conference contribute to the success ofmarine research and offer much room for inspiration. So that future expeditions we willcontinue to ask questions and find answers that will help to adjust our social actions morespecifically towards the protection of this unique habitat.
