The seminar series is an ongoing online event that was launched in September 2020 as part of Netto-Null-2050, Cluster I of the Helmholtz Climate Initiative (HI-CAM). Since mid-April 2021, postdocs and young scientists from all three HI-CAM clusters have been participating in the series of seminars.
The seminar series involves several lectures by postdocs with the goal of opening interactive discussions in regards to challenges-objectives-strategies, exchange ideas and data sets between different projects, and finally elaborate on brainstorming for further collaborations.
For individual events, external guests are specifically invited to address project-relevant topics (marked with *).
The seminar takes place every second Wednesday from 13:30-15:00 pm. A link to the virtual conference room will be sent to the Netto-Null-2050 team two days before each event. Selected events are open to an audience external to the project. In these cases, the entry in the schedule will be supplemented with a link to the conference room.
