The Scientific Diving Centre at TU Bergakademie Freiberg has received the world's first ISO certification for training in scientific diving. Those who train and further their education in scientific diving at Freiberg University thus benefit from internationally harmonised standards for preparing for diving missions in underwater research.

Solutions to global environmental problems also to be found in water bodies

The persistence with which the team at the Scientific Diving Centre have fought for the certification has one central reason: scientific diving is a key qualification for anyone researching and working in the environmental field:

"71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. So if we really want to explore the Earth, find solutions to global environmental problems and take stock of the impact of human activity on our ecosystem, then we need to include this part. We must ensure that all research disciplines with their specialised knowledge and methods have access to underwater research. We bring expertise and decision-makers to where science needs to take place, directly to the scene of the action."
