We would love to meet you at one of the upcoming Water Hub events! We are currently planning the official launch of the Water Hub, followed by regular events including public Water Dialogues, the Water Talks lecture series and social get-togethers. The dates will be announced here on the website and in our monthly newsletter.
Event formats
Potsdam Water Talks
The Potsdam WaterHub is launching a new seminar series aimed at fostering exchange in water research across disciplines, career stages, and perspectives.
In regular seminars, internal and external speakers will present their research to a broad, interdisciplinary audience. The goal is to bring together diverse viewpoints and stimulate discussion on water, environment, and society.
We warmly invite everyone interested to join, take part in the discussions, and become part of the growing WaterHub community.
