Symposium & General Assembly SGM 2026

The symposium will feature three expert lectures, with speakers to be announced at a later date. In addition, Master students from different Swiss universities have the possibility to present the status of their master thesis to small groups of listeners. Each round of talks will last about 10 minutes and the audience is invited to learn more about the different projects, ask questions, and give the students some tips in this informal setting. Please indicate your contribution at the online registration.

SwissMeteoPhoto Contest

Submit your best photograph of a meteorological phenomenon observed anywhere in the world! All entries will be evaluated by symposium participants, and the top three photographs will receive awards. Each participant may submit only one photograph, and only submissions from attendees who are physically present at the symposium will be eligible for the competition.
