On June 12 and 13, 2026, it is that time again: the joint annual meeting of the DMG Sections Petrology/Petrophysics and Geochemistry will take place, offering the opportunity to present exciting current research from both sections and to engage in interdisciplinary scientific discussions. This year, the meeting will be held in Potsdam at the Institute of Geosciences of University of Potsdam. As is tradition, the event is particularly intended to provide early-career researchers—Master’s students and (post)doctoral researchers—with a platform to present their work in the form of talks or posters.
Venue
The meeting will take place at the Institute of Geosciences, University of Potsdam, Campus Golm, Lecture Hall 0.01, House 27.
