3rd GeomInt Assembly, 04.-05.04.2019, University of Kiel (CAU)

The third general assembly of the BMBF-Geo:N GeomInt project took place on 04.-05.04.2019 in Kiel (Photo). The meeting started with the regular WP reports on experimental and modelling works. Focus of the meeting was set on further development of the model-experiment-exercises (MEE concept) which are dedicated to combine both areas tightly. The GeomInt book project is now online on Overleaf for continuous collaborative writing. We decided to have quarterly meetings until the end of the GeomInt project for further intensification of collaboration. Bernhard Vowinkel (BGR) was welcomed into the team. The next GeomInt Assembly will be held on 04.07.2019 in Leipzig.

The project management published the GeomInt website that contains information about the project partners, work packages, applied methods as well as an overview of software used in GeomInt, projects linked to GeomInt and the research infrastructures used in the project.

The GeomInt project management developed a data management plan including a data policy paper that is the basis for the data management within the project and can be adjusted dynamically during the entire project period. The Papers are now in the process of approval.

The GeomInt partners participated the kick-off meeting of the BMBF program Geo:N "Underground geosystems". The project coordination presented the GeomInt project and held discussions with representatives of the other projects in the program, e.g. about potential cooperation in data management with the TestUm Aquifer project.

Kick-Off Meeting Representatives of BGR, University of Kiel, Institute for Mountain Mechanics, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, University of Stuttgart and UFZ.

On 9th and 10th of October, the Kick-Off meeting of the GeomInt project took place at the UFZ in Leipzig. The project partners discussed the first steps and milestones as well as important project management topics like the data management.
