Final Report Abstract

The challenges to society posed by the effects of global change on the coastal zones and shelf- seas require the interdisciplinary and international cooperation of the relevant scientific fields to analyse, understand, predict, and – where necessary – to mitigate the changes to the natural environment. Along this line, research themes from the natural sciences have to be linked to associated topics in the social and legal sciences. The German - New Zealand International Research Training Group ‘INTERCOAST - Integrated Coastal Zone and Shelf-Sea Research’ trained over nine years PhD students to become disciplinary highly qualified, interdisciplinary thinking, internationally visible and independent scientists. This was conducted in a collaboration between the University Bremen and the University of Waikato, New Zealand. At this stage, 28 out of the 50 PhD students have successfully completed their doctorates. Three submitted their thesis and plan to defence early next year before continuing their careers in different academic and/or non-academic sectors. INTERCOAST PhD students vested the partner University for approximately one third of their 3- year-term. During these visits, the students gained (1) experience in another research culture, (2) learned to work in an international environment and (3) published with an international team of leading scientists in their research fields. Moreover, the continuous involvement in an interdisciplinary and international research team provided an excellent education for all PhD students in their own scientific field. In addition, it enabled a deeper insight into both regional and disciplinary differences, and thereby fostered the interdisciplinary communication skills of the PhD students. Thus, the three generations of highly qualified and internationally oriented scientists have the capability to go beyond their own discipline. Finally, the PhD students were excellently prepared to tackle the challenges associated with the coastal zones and shelf-seas in a changing world over the coming decades and to compete successfully in a dynamic job market.
