Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
It has been 25 Years since the founding of our Institute in which the fundamentals and effects of biogeochemistry in the climate system were researched.
We cordially invite you to our scientific symposium at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena on 2nd and 3rd June 2022.
In four lecture blocks over two days, we will highlight various aspects of Earth system research, look back and present an outlook for the future.
There will be a garden party held at our institute on the evening of 2nd June.
A poster exhibition will round off the second day of the symposium on 3rd June.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Yours faithfully,
Prof. Susan Trumbore, PhD
Prof. Dr. Markus Reichstein
Prof. Dr. Sönke Zaehle
