Infrastructure


The research infrastructure will consist of two components: a research ship and a fixed system of laboratories, complementary to those on the research ship.

REXDAN Research Vessel, the largest on the European Union inland waters, is under construction at ATG Giurgiu Shipyard and will include 9 modern laboratories (systems for sample collection and preservation, laboratory for sample preparation, radiometry laboratory, laboratory for physical-chemical analyses, acquatic ecology laboratory, air/
atmosphere laboratory, biodiversity monitoring systems, bathymetry systems, IT laboratory), the acquisition procedures for the equipment to be included in these laboratories being in full development at present. The REXDAN research vessel will be completed in January 2023.
