After four event- and successful years in office, our dean Prof. Michal Kucera hands over the baton to his deputy, the newly elected dean Prof. Wolfgang Bach on October 1st 2019 to officiate as vice dean for another year. Likewise, Prof. Cornelia Spiegel-Behnke steps us as new dean of studies in succession of Dr. Torsten Bickert, who, as future deputy, will stay responsible for the reform and reaccreditation of the geoscientific study programs.

We all thank our reshuffled deans for their great and important engagement and wish them good luck, fair winds and following seas for their future endeavors!
