We cordially invite all scientists, students and colleagues from the Administration of the Geo.X partner institutions to participate in the Geo.X Annual Assembly 2016. Our hosts this year are the German Aerospace Centre DLR and the Humboldt University.
The Geo.X network is being funded for the next five years through the Helmholtz Association. We look forward to informing you about joint projects already underway as well as about plans for the future. Furthermore, newly appointed Professors at the partner institutions will have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their respective fields of research.
There will be a reception as well as an exhibition of the host institutions in the foyer afterwards where all participants will have the opportunity for discussions and exchange of ideas.
We kindly request you to register here for this event.
