GeoTalks@TU Darmstadt

The lecture series at the Institute of Geotechnics

We invite you to take part in our lecture series. Each month a new exciting topic from geotechnical research and practice will be presented by leading experts in the field.

A lively discussion is encouraged following each talk.

You can find the programme for this year's GeoTalks@TU Darmstadt here (opens in new tab)

Time change for the GeoTalk on 05.07.2023

Please note that the last GeoTalk by Frederique de Groen and Dr Magreet van Marle will not start at 16:00 as usual, but at 16:15.

We look forward to your participation!
