Stiftung Wissen der Sparkasse KölnBonn: Algorithm in Earth system sciences

23rd -27th November 2025

The Stiftung Wissen der Sparkasse KölnBonn supports us with its package of student event, panel discussion and specialist symposium. In its annual series of events, Stiftung Wissen focuses on a current and innovative research question. From 24th to 27th November 2024, the focus will be on ‘Algorithms in Earth System'. 

At the school event (german) on Tuesday and Wednesday (24/25 November), (young) scientists will introduce pupils to the basics and methods of future-relevant natural sciences while also addressing the particular opportunities and challenges of the respective research areas. Pupils will have the opportunity to talk directly to experts and discuss their questions.

The student event ends on Wednesday evening (25 November) with the public panel discussion (german), which is intended for the interested public and also serves as an introduction to the symposium.

The symposium (english) will then take place on Thursday and Friday (26/27 November) and will offer scientists as well as experts from politics, industry, the media and other interest groups a space for exchange and discussion. Experts from a wide range of disciplines can work together here on current research issues. The symposia focus on a particularly intensive and interdisciplinary working atmosphere that provides new impetus for research. In this way, they contribute to the networking of the research and scientific landscape. Our specialist symposia are conceived and realised together with us. We also summarise the results of the symposium in a research report and thus provide a well-founded and up-to-date insight into the subject area. The report will be published by the foundation.
