Seminar of the Institute for Environmental Social Sciences and Geography
It’s time for the members of our recently established institute within our faculty to start a regular scientific exchange beyond the established formats! To that end, we will host a seminar series between November 2021 and July 2022 where all research groups can present their current work and planned activities for the future. This will help us map out options for further exchange and potential collaboration across groups.
The first half hour will typically be a presentation and the second 30 minutes are reserved for discussion. All meetings will be online (Zoom). The meeting URL will be distributed to all faculty members via email. Guests who would like to attend can request the URL via in4mation@indecol.uni-freiburg.de
