At the moment, the MIN Forum will unfortunately still be closed. This means students, doctoral candidates, and instructors cannot visit us on-site at the MIN Forum. Please note the following special arrangements for this transitional period:
a. Consultation Hours
Our consultation hours are at the moment held digitally via Zoom. The times and Zoom links can be found under Staff and Consultation Hours on our website.
If you need an in-person appointment during this time, please schedule an appointment. The appointment can take place at Geomatikum.
