German Society for Geomorphology DGGM Annual Conference 2026
DGGM October 7–10, 2026
The 52nd Annual Meeting of the German Geomorphological Society (DGGM) in 2026 will take place in Heidelberg. Researchers from all areas of geomorphology will gather in the historic old town to discuss current developments, methods, and perspectives in the discipline.
The DGGM Annual Conference 2026 is intended as an open forum for contributions from across the entire spectrum of geomorphology. We welcome both traditional and innovative contributions on gravitational, aeolian, fluvial, periglacial, glacial, karst, and coastal geomorphological issues. Conceptual and methodological work as well as interdisciplinary approaches are also welcome. The aim of the conference is to promote scientific exchange between established researchers, young scientists, and related disciplines. The conference languages are German and English. Young scientists in particular are encouraged to submit presentations and posters. We look forward to welcoming you to Heidelberg.
