Dans le cadre de l’Académie Spatiale d’île-de-France, une vingtaine d’étudiant·es en masters et doctorats de Planétologie et Cosmologie de l’Université Paris Cité, participeront cette année encore aux « Berlin Lectures » les 11 et 12 décembre 2025.

Cet événement est organisé par les Universités de Potsdam, Humboldt et Paris-Cité au sein du DLR, l’agence spatiale allemande.

As part of the Île-de-France Space Academy, around 20 master’s and doctoral students in Planetology and Cosmology at Paris Cité University will once again take part in the Berlin Lectures on December 11 and 12, 2025. This event is organized by the Universities of Potsdam, Humboldt, and Paris-Cité within the DLR, the German space agency.

Édition 2024 des Berlin LecturesBerlin Lectures : une journée d’exception au DLR

Cette année, l’évènement se tiendra sur deux jours et sera l’occasion d’approfondir les connaissances scientifiques des participant·es tout en découvrant les dernières avancées en sciences planétaires. Au programme, des conférences présentées par des expertes et des experts européens : évolution thermique des planètes terrestres, tectonique de surface, génération des champs magnétiques planétaire, etc.

This year, the event will be held over two days and will provide an opportunity for participants to deepen their scientific knowledge while discovering the latest advances in planetary science. The program includes lectures presented by European experts on topics such as the thermal evolution of terrestrial planets, surface tectonics, and the generation of planetary magnetic fields.
