Germany is part of the Schengen area. Generally speaking, all third-country nationals require a visa for stays in Germany. An exemption applies to EU citizens and citizens of countries for which the European Community has abolished the visa requirement for short stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period through the European Union visa scheme.

Stuttgart, capital of southwest Germany’s Baden-Württemberg state, is known as a manufacturing hub. Mercedes-Benz and Porsche have headquarters and museums here. The city is filled with greenspaces, which wrap around its center. Popular parks include the Schlossgarten, Rosensteinpark and Killesbergpark. Wilhelma, one of the largest zoos and botanical gardens in Europe, is just northeast of Rosenstein Castle.
Hohenheim is one of 18 outer quarters of the city of Stuttgart in the borough of Plieningen that sits on the Filder in central Baden-Württemberg. The quarter was founded in 1782 when Schloss Hohenheim was constructed on the orders of Charles Eugene of Baden-Württemberg. The University of Hohenheim, as the name might imply, is based here and uses much of Schloss Hohenheim for its campus.
A few of the things to go to while in Stuttgart are the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums and the Wilhelma Zoologisch-Botanischer Garten or maybe wander through one of the many parks, like the Schlossgarten which threads together the Mittlerer Schlossgarten, with its fine biergarten for summer imbibing, the sculpture-dotted Unterer Schlossgarten, and the Oberer Schlossgarten, home to stately landmarks such as the Staatstheater and the glass-fronted Landtag.
Registration and abstract submission is expected to open on 31 December 2025.
The program of GWC2026 will be available in early June 2026.
The Baltic Earth scientific network strives to achieve an improved Earth System understanding of the Baltic Sea region as the basis for science-based management in the face of climatic, environmental and human impact in the region. Baltic Earth brings together a broad international research community around scientific issues relevant for societal efforts to achieve sustainability in the region. Baltic Earth targets the atmosphere, land and marine environment of the Baltic Sea, its drainage basin and nearby areas with relevance for the Baltic Sea region. Baltic Earth has entered a new phase, called Baltic Earth 2.0. It is characterized by a new secretariat shared between Germany and Poland and revised research topics, which will be the foci of the conference.
The 6th Baltic Earth conference 2026 is hosted by the International Baltic Earth Secretariat at IOW and IOPAN, and will take place from 13 – 17 April 2026 at Seetelhotel Villa Esplanade mit Aurora and Seetelhotel Pommerscher Hof, located in Heringsdorf on the Usedom Island in Germany.
The conference sessions reflect the research themes of the new Baltic Earth 2.0 science plan. The topics listed below are preliminary and indicate the scope of the conference.

ANDEX is a Regional Hydroclimatic Program for the Andes. The program is part of the GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges Program (GEWEX), one of the core projects of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). One key goal of ANDEX is to become a regional hydroclimatic program of reference constituted by a consolidated and articulated scientific community that responds to the needs of society and contributes to planning and decision-making for the sustainable development of the Andean countries. Water security for Andean populations, and high-impact hydroclimatic events, constitute our two main themes of research, production and dissemination of knowledge and information.
The ANDEX Annual Meetings represent one core activity of the program, and this year this event will take place at the facilities of CCT CONICET Mendoza, Argentina, between October 13 and 18, 2025. The aim is to bring together the members of the ANDEX community as well as collaborators working on the different Andean countries. Also anticipated, is a vibrant participation of members of JovenANDEX, a network created to incorporate the vision, needs and activities of early career scientists within the ANDEX program.
It is important to note that the ANDEX activities in Mendoza in 2025 are being organized in the context of the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation, a joint worldwide initiative recently launched by WMO and UNESCO.
This year’s annual meeting will include:
During the event, a series of introductory one-day workshops will be organized and led by ANDEX members who are leaders in that particular scientific field and include the following topics:
At the end of the meeting there will be an optional field trip to the upper Mendoza River basin that will conclude with a magnificent view of Cerro Aconcagua (6962 m), the highest mountain in the world outside the Tibetan Plateau in Asia. The final agenda for the meeting will be available in the August 2025. The preliminary agenda can be accessed at https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/2025andex/agenda/.
