On the occasion of Alexander von Humboldt’s 250th birthday and in light of his famous Kosmos lectures, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is staging the KOSMOS Conference in Berlin from 28th - 30th August 2019.
Termed "Navigating the Sustainability Transformation in the 21st Century" this conference aims to provide a landmark for today’s great challenges towards sustainability.
