Symposium & General Assembly SGM 2024
Luogo della manifestazione
The general assembly of the Swiss Society for Meteorology (SSM) and its annual symposium will be held on Friday, 29 November, 12:15 - 18:00 in the Kuppelsaal at University of Bern.
We are happy to announce presentations by Erich Fischer (ETH Zurich), Andreas Schlueter (Jua), and Monika Feldmann (University of Bern). 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. PhD students are invited to discuss their projects as well. Please indicate your contribution at the online registration.
