Christian Dahmen (con terra) and Felizitas von Ruville-Jackelen and Prof. Dr. Albert Remke (52°North) provided an overview on the companies’ activities in the field of Geoinformatics. It followed an intensive and moderated discussion about career perspectives, required skills, and hints for career development. The event provided the students with valuable insights into career perspectives from companies’ point of view. The companies’ feedback to the event was very positive as well, getting information about the students’ different backgrounds and possibly having access to potential employees.
