ALL-IN-ONE project support
Proposal-Phase
High quality samples and precisely retrieved data are the basis for a good research outcome. This starts already in the proposal phase with a most accurate assessment possible of the practical implementation, to avoid unpleasant (financial) surprises. If you do not have sufficient experience, it is difficult to do so.
We want to support you with our expertise already before you have started your project, in order to create you the best conditions for a successful research. Possible topics are,
- Feasibility check of the current plan from the point of view of an executor
- Rough evaluation of cost & time expenditure
- Consulting about area related specialties/difficulties
Planning-Phase
Planning a scientific expedition is very complex and time-consuming. Campaigns related to diving activities require an even more intensive and precise plan, due to increased accident risks, special permissions and because problem solving underwater is a way more difficult!
As professional divers and scientists with according background and experiences we take over the complete planning/coordination. So that nothing stands in the way of a successful expedition and you can fully focus on your research.
This includes the following points:
- First interview: Information about the project; details about the external conditions (sampling procedure & area); way of documentation; transport of samples; ...
- Exploration of the sampling area (if necessary)
- Check regulations & permissions
- Schedule of sampling and data gathering
- Travel planning (transfer, accommodation, insurance, ...)
- Risk-analysis
- Preparation of tenders
Practical-Phase
A good plan is important, but without professional guidance, it remains theory. It is often difficult to find suitable staff. Especially if you are not from the field yourself, you lack the contacts and/or the knowledge according to which criteria people should be selected.
No problem for us, we find you the best fitting team adapted to your project. To ensure a secure expedition with reliable and high quality results.
- Team building, procurement of equipment
- Journey to destination
- Carrying out the discussed sampling
- optional add-ons - e. g. preparation of the samples on site
- Documentation
Post-Pracical-Phase
Not only because the expedition is over and the necessary "materials" are available, it means that the work is done. There is also a lot of work to be done afterwards.
To enable you to publish your research successfully in a paper, we will put together a package of detailed documentation of our work on site and the data collected. The samples will be sent to the location agreed with you.
- Shipping of samples
- Handing over documentation & information
- optional add-ons - data work (preparation, management, transfer in data bases)
If you have questions or want more information, please contact.
