The measurement exercises are taught in small groups of 4–6 people and, therefore, have a high learning effect. An individually prepared environment on the boat supports professional researchers who are engaged in challenging questions. In addition, the HCU has a fully equipped modern geodetic laboratory and computer pools with special software.
Special features regarding research activities
Geodesy and geoinformatics has a broad range of research topics, is part of numerous cooperations and is a member of the usual specialist networks. In addition, management positions are held in national and international networks: DGfK, GDU, IAG, GVW, DGPF. Participation in collaborative research projects such as the DFG, CRC, SPP and FOR is also taking place and there is a long-standing ESA cooperation.
