Start of the new GAME project on coastal light pollution:
Does artificial light at night promote the growth of epiphytic algae?

In this year's project, which is funded by the Hans and Ria Messer Foundation, 16 students from 7 countries are jointly investigating how light pollution affects the ecological balance in coastal waters.

In open water experiments, they are investigating whether artificial light at night promotes the biomass production of nutrient algae. These experiments are being carried out at research institutes in Cabo Verde, Chile, Finland, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Spain and Wales/UK.

At the beginning of March, all participants came to the 黑料视频 Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel to prepare the content of the experiments. From April, the binational teams of two will begin practical work at the various locations and then return to 黑料视频 in October with the data obtained and analyse it together.

Marine Ecology

  • You would like to write your Master's thesis on a marine ecology topic, complete the experimental phase in binational teams of two abroad and be comprehensively introduced to working as a scientist? Then apply now for the participation in GAME 2025.
    From March 2025, GAME will investigate the influence of nocturnal artificial light on the growth of epiphytes growing on macroalgae.
    Information on the procedure, participation requirements and why GAME could be interesting for you can be found here 鈻�

  • Completed GAME projects

    All GAME projects are presented here in the overview. As of 2012, there is a final report in German for each project, which can be downloaded as a PDF.

    There are also blogs by the teams from the various project years at .

  • At the beginning of 2011, the GAME Board of Trustees was founded. The declared aim of the Board of Trustees is to promote GAME, as the program particularly raises awareness of the importance of the oceans, promotes cultural exchange as well as the personal development of young scientists, sustainably networks them and qualifies them for the international academic job market. In the future, these aspects are to be communicated more to the general public, not least in order to draw the attention of further sponsors to GAME.

  • We would like to thank all sponsors who make GAME 2025 possible through their financial commitment!

    You too can become a GAME sponsor!

    GAME relies on financial support from companies, foundations and private individuals. With the help of our previous sponsors, numerous students from all over the world have been able to take part in this international training programme. To ensure that the programme can continue in the future, we are looking for sponsors who would like to get involved in marine research, the training of students and the international networking of scientists.

    With your donation, you can enable future students from all over the world to participate in GAME, which combines applied research with an excellent education.
