IP Freshwaters - Annual Retreat 2025
We cordially invite all scientists and PhD students working within the Integration Platform (IP) Freshwaters to the Annual Retreat 2025.
The Meeting will take place at Villa Böckelmann, Magdeburg-Otterleben from 27.-28. August 2025.
For more information on IP Freshwaters please see here: https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=48617.
Building on the formats of our previous IP workshops in Barby 2022, Ottersleben 2023 and UFZ-KUBUS 2024, we once again would like to engage with you in discussions on our research within the Research Unit Water and Environment and across the RUs. The workshop will provide an opportunity to connect and synthesise some of our exciting research and outreach along multi-disciplinary lines. This especially to further strengthen and expand our collaborations and fine-tune our research portfolio in the light of the feedback from the evaluation in February 2025 and to discuss plans for the next POF period. Besides the interesting scientific discussions there will be ample room to also socialise and have a good time together.
The aim of the IP Workshop is to:
- Inform and be informed – current achievements in the IP
- Post-processing the UFZ scientific evaluation in February 2025 - status quo and next steps towards POF V
- Support alignment of own work towards common goals of Platform Projects / Integration Platform / UFZ
- Maintain the exchange across Departments and RUs
- Bring in a view from / to the outside - lecture by and discussion with an external guest
- "BBQ"
We are especially looking forward to your posters – new or recycled – for the session in the afternoon of Day 1. You can register the posters together with your personal registration. Following the feedback from the last workshop, we have reserved time for a round of poster pitches in plenary.
A binding registration is required to assess the need for chairs, poster boards, beds and litres of coffee. We kindly ask you to register for the workshop until August, 13rd, 2025. A successful registration is confirmed by an automatic email reply.
All participants shall cover their travel expenses through their own cost allocation (Kostenstelle). The costs for meals and accommodation will be covered by the IP/TB Water integration budget.
For questions and suggestions, please contact the IP/TB manager Ilona Bärlund.
Looking forward to seeing you in Ottersleben!
