FYORD - Organisation
As a cross-status group, cross-institutional, and interdisciplinary program, FYORD combines cross-status group and specific offerings from a wide range of programs at both Kiel Marine Sciences at Christian Albrechts University and GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. There are specific offers for all young scientists, from Master students to PhD students and postdocs.
In the area of international cooperation, FYORD works closely with SEA-EU - European University of the Seas. SEA-EU's vision is to create a distinctly international, multiethnic, multilingual, and interdisciplinary European university that offers a broad range of personalized, expertise-based curricula and a developmental educational environment, as well as a comprehensive range of mobility and research-based education.
The FYORD program builds on the network of partners, providing the missing links and filling the gaps in status group overarching support for young marine researchers.

FYORD Steering Committee
Graphic Steering Committee of FYORD
To ensure the quality of the FYORD program and its continued focus on the needs of the status groups, a steering committee meets regularly twice a year. The FYORD Steering Committee is composed of members of the Board of Directors, representation from each of the status groups, and established researchers and those assuming leadership positions for the first time; to provide feedback from an outside perspective, a non-scientist member is also part of the committee. In their meetings, Steering Committee members discuss program performance to date and future directions, shaping the program to meet the needs of the status groups. The committee is also responsible for ensuring that the program is embedded in the structures of the respective institutions.

FYORD Sounding Group
The FYORD sounding group consists of the FYORD program coordinator and all coordinators of the main partner programs. At monthly meetings, the sounding group discusses upcoming events and individual coordinators receive feedback on their plans for each program. The meetings serve to closely coordinate event plans for individual status groups to avoid redundancy and overlap. The sounding group thus helps shape much of FYORD's agenda as experts for the respective target groups.
