Students and teachers are warmly invited to attend the annual conference. Simply identify yourself as a teacher or student at the registration desk and you will be granted free access.
Also of interest to a broad audience is the public evening lecture from 8:00–9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, in Lecture Hall H1 of the Schlossplatz Lecture Hall Building, Schlossplatz 46, 48143 Münster. Prof. Dr. Torsten Dahm from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam will present new findings on the Eifel volcanoes.
In addition, with the MExLab Physics at the Department of Physics at the University of Münster, we are offering—alongside attendance at the conference—a geophysics workshop for school classes on Monday, March 2, 2026, and Wednesday, March 4, 2026 (Instagram: @mexlab.physik and website: https://www.uni-muenster.de/Physik.MExLab/). This provides an opportunity to carry out experiments themselves to explore how earthquakes originate and the associated flows within the Earth. Participants will analyze real earthquake data to determine the origin of earthquakes. We will also investigate flow processes—which occur not only within the Earth but also in the atmosphere and oceans—through experiments. Registration for the workshop by email to mexlab.physik@uni-muenster.de is required!
In addition to these highlights, there are daily opportunities to sample specialist talks or to engage in personal discussions with scientists or company exhibitors at poster sessions.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Claudia Stein (schulen.dgg2026@uni-muenster.de).
We look forward to seeing you!
