Quixote Expeditions has a Guest Scientist Program where scientists can join any of our regularly scheduled trips in order to help them carry out their research. This can be anyone working on a master’s or PhD thesis, professors and researchers at universities, and scientists associated with non-profits. We offer a free space onboard any of our scheduled trips for scientists to perform their research. We sail in remote places that are often hard for scientists to get to and for those with limited funding, impossible due to the expensive nature of working in remote areas. We hope that by offering these spaces – one per trip, that amazing and interesting science can be continued here at the end of the world.

In exchange we ask that the scientists to contribute the following:

• To involve the other guests onboard with the research and data collecting if possible (Its not always possible!).
• To present some of their current or past research while onboard.
• At the end of the trip to prepare a short write up about the trip and the science that will then be posted on the Quixote Expeditions Website.
• To help operate the vessel (standing watch, helping in the galley, etc).  Ocean Tramp, while a large sailboat, is still small compared to a larger research vessel. We ask that all scientists chip in, along with our guests.
