This seminar is primarily, but by no means exclusively, aimed at students who are currently writing their bachelor's or master's thesis and are interested in current research topics of planetary sciences and at PhD students of the participating research groups. Recent publications on topics from the research fields of the participating professors (Noack, Postberg, Rauer, Wünnemann, Jaumann) will first be presented by the students in short talks and then discussed with the other participants.
