The event kicked off with a delicious sandwich lunch followed by the General Assembly of the SSM. Afterwards, Daniela Domeisen from the University of Lausanne, Nicolai Krieger from ETH Zurich, and Andreas Zischg from the University of Bern shared their work on the subjects of heatwaves, windstorms, and flood simulations.

Adding an interactive touch, Master and PhD students from various Swiss universities presented and discussed their work in an informal setting. This unique platform provided an valuable opportunity for both students and experienced professionals to exchange insights and knowledge.
