Starting in the winter semester 2025/26, the colloquia of Soil Science, Climatology, and Urban Ecology will be merged!

As part of this joint colloquium, M.Sc. students are expected to present the background, research questions, concepts, and results of their planned or ongoing Master's theses and discuss them with the audience. The colloquium is primarily intended for Master's students at the Institute of Geography, but interested Bachelor's students are also warmly welcome.

The colloquia take place every Tuesday from 4–6 p.m. and are structured as follows:

• Concept presentation: 15 minutes + discussion
• Results presentation: 20 minutes + discussion

Registration for all colloquia, regardless of subject area, is done via email to: chris.kaiser@ruhr-uni-bochum.de

Up to three presentations can be held per day. The first available date is October 14, 2025.
