General Assembly 2024

Europe/Berlin
GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel Wischhofstr. 1-3 24148 Kiel
Description

Welcome to the annual General Assembly 2024 of the Program "Changing Earth - Sustaining our Future" (November 27-28)

Once a year the Program Board invites scientists from the seven Helmholtz Centers participating in and contributing to the research program "Changing Earth - Sustaining our Future" with nine topics, Program Objectives, CCAs, InnoPool projects, the SynCom team, the Management Board and the Management-Team to exchange information and ideas, to share developments and advances, to swap insights and strategies.

With Poster Sessions, an Ideas Market, Breakout groups, presentations and enough time in-between you will have the chance for discussions, exchanging and crossing new ideas and projects. In 2024 you have the opportunity to meet up to 270 participants in Kiel.

*Contributions to the certain sessions are an important component of the General Assembly - as well as for other conferences the Program Board still reserves the right for contributions to be reordered or not to be taken into account.
