About the Workshop
About the Workshop
The purpose of the German-Swiss Geodynamics Workshop 2025 is to bring together geodynamicists, particularly from Germany and Switzerland, in a remote and cozy setting to exchange ideas, present their research, and—true to tradition—sing together. It is the latest in a series of biennial workshops dating back to 1992 (see https://dgg-online.de/arbeitskreise/ak-dynamik-des-erdinnern/), the latest of which were in Haltern am See (2023) and in Bad Belzig (2021).
We warmly invite around 50 participants to share their work, foster new collaborations, and connect with colleagues in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is no registration fee. Participants will only need to cover the cost of accommodation and meals included.
