March 2007–January 2009

The German Science Council evaluated the project AURORA BOREALIS in May 2005 and recommended the construction of the research icebreaker in 2006.

The project ERICON-AURORA BOREALIS 

March 2008–February 2012


The AURORA BOREALIS project is currently pursued on a European level in the European Polar Board (EPB) of the European Science Foundation (ESF). The ESF provides the necessary financial resources and coordinates the European Research Icebreaker Consortium - Aurora Borealis (ERICON - AB). The establishment of the consortium was one of the main goals to achieve in the previous BMBF project.
