From an earlier Instituteskaffee when the institute changed name and form, Wolfgang Wagner, head of the Department Dpt of Geodesy and Geoinformation, is holding a cake with our new acronym.

Still, it is Monday, so there had to be something (potentially) not so positive: I got news from Moritz Langer in Samoylov that there are fewer sensors available for me at the station than expected... I still have hope that it is a misunderstanding from my side (perhaps the sensors are at AWI for example). Fingers crossed that I get a good Tuesday answer!
The other week I had a monthly young researcher Skype meeting with Matthias Siewert (Stockholm)and Stefanie Weege (Potsdam). One topic was the cooperation, recently initiated between the Canadian Permafrost Research Program ADAPT Early Career Researchers Association (AECRA) and of PAGE21 Young Researchers Association. We try to organize for the AECRA executive committee to join us at the PAGE21 YR workshop that will take place just before the general assembly in Abisko .
We already have a rather clear idea of how we can make best use of this workshop day in Abisko. And luckily, we already have some contribution from the other PAGE21 young researchers in the form of ideas and assistance with the program. We are quite optimistic that the internal cooperation within PAGE21, across as well as within disciplines, will be strengthened as well.

This is a meeting intended for news concerning our research group as a whole, including issues about teaching, infrastructure or conferences, or important dates etc. Also, for a pleasant atmosphere we commonly celebrate the last birthday persons: they bring cakes and get birthday wishes. There is quite a bit of a delay though, since my birthday was in March.
