To participate in the student evening, a separate registration is required for participation.

This session is organized by the Equal Opportunities Committee of the DGG. During the session, geophysicists and fathers will share their personal experiences of balancing family and career in different contexts (university, industry, etc.). The committee has invited social scientist Dr. Ayhan Adams from the University of Osnabrück to place these personal accounts in the context of his research on work–family balance.

Moderators: Stefanie Donner (BGR) and Katrin Hannemann (University of Münster).

The Meet & Greet breakfast for female scientists will take place this year again. The aim of the event is to offer a platform for mutual exchange. Female students will have the opportunity to meet professionally advanced female geophysicists and get to know different career paths in a personal conversation. The breakfast will take place on Wednesday, 04.03.2026, from 8:00 to 9:30 o'clock at the Inst. f.
