Dear Geoscientists and Colleagues,

We are most happy to be able to invite you for GeoKarlsruhe 2021 – DGGV’s annual conference – which will be held online on 19–24th of September 2021 at KIT in Karlsruhe. This year’s theme “Sustainable Earth – from processes to resources” addresses a wide spectrum of scientific topics from fundamental research to application. Besides our virtual conference, you may register for pre- and post-conference onsite field trips, which offer opportunities to meet physically, if Corona-restrictions allow.

As a result of the still uncertain circumstances, we have worked out a hybrid conference solution for you. It will allow us to offer this important meeting in a safe environment and provide you with an interactive format as preferred by the scientific community in virtual conferences. A lot of learnings from GeoUtrecht 2020 and your positive feedback on it went into the planning. We are convinced that the size of meeting and the new technologies to be used will allow you to have an even more positive and fruitful experience in this mid-size meeting – something which is difficult to get from a virtual mega conference nowadays. Note that both, virtual and onsite geological field trips are on offer – likely unique in geoscience conference history.

Thanks to all of our session conveners and the organizing committee we have now a comprehensive scientific program attractive for a broad community. We are also pleased to announce that GeoKarlsruhe 2021 and the 9th European Geothermal Workshop – 9th EGW 2021 – join forces this year (note: independent registration and submission on the same platform). The 9th EGW 2021 will be held on 23rd and 24th of September with an additional field trip on September, 25th. We would also like to thank all of our gold, silver and bronze sponsors which have already made commitments to take part in the 2021 event.

You will find ample opportunities in the conference format which you are used to from f2f meetings. Amongst them are a virtual icebreaker party, public, plenary and session talks, panel discussions, award ceremonies, exhibition hall, coffee shop and virtual networking rooms. In addition, we will offer virtual meeting spaces for your additional events you have in mind (e.g., working group meetings, section meetings, workshops, Young Scientists meeting, general assembly etc.). Please indicate your needs to the organizers, so we can prepare this for you in advance. Local and field trip participants will be able to join the f2f social event physically, something we are all looking forward to again.

The Call for Abstracts is open now including conference registration – as usual via ConfTool. We would like to remind you that this is a great opportunity to become a member of DGGV. Such will allow you to recover part of your conference fees or even join for free as an early bird student member. For further details on all the latest news please see the conference website which is regularly updated for you.

The hybrid conference with virtual sessions allows the geoscience community in the heart of Europe to meet, present and to exchange scientific ideas in a time where geoscientists are in strong demand when it comes to providing answers on major societal questions like climate change, the energy transition, biodiversity, digitalization or the identification of radioactive waste sites in Europe.

We are looking forward to welcome you all to the virtual conferences and onsite field-trips at GeoKarlsruhe 2021.

Yours sincerely,

  Christoph Hilgers (KIT) and Jürgen Grötsch (DGGV)

On behalf of the scientific committee
