Der ESS Science Talk

Das Institut für Umweltsystemwissenschaften lädt pro Semester drei Gastvortragende ein, die sich mit den ESS-Themenfeldern (also Systemwissenschaften, Nachhaltigkeits- und Innovationsforschung) auseinandersetzen. Derzeit finden keine Vorträge geplant. Üblicherweise werden die Science Talks in englischer Sprache dienstags um 12:30 Uhr abgehalten. Bei Fragen wenden Sie sich bitte an den Organisator Ralf Aschemann.
