"Research in Germany" at the 48th Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU)
Come and visit us in San Francisco, USA from December 14-18, 2015 and find out what research opportunities Germany can offer you!
At the heart of Europe, Germany is one of the best destinations for cutting-edge research in geosciences and environmental sciences. Why not consider a PhD, a research stay or a cooperation with Germany? You could even start your independent research group at one of Germany´s leading geoscientific research institutions!
Representatives of German funding organizations, Clusters of Excellence and other outstanding research institutions, research consortia and research training groups are eager to talk to you about the many possibilities and answer questions you may have.
Visit us at our collaborative “Research in Germany” booth or at one of our special events at the AGU conference venue and downtown.
We look forward to seeing you!
