Online Lecture Series "The Anthropocene" 2025

In the summer term 2025, we hosted an interdisciplinary online lecture series on the Anthropocene. With international speakers from the sciences, social sciences, and humanities who will examine the challenges and controversies of the Anthropocene from different perspectives.

The lecture series is a cooperation of VAN, the Department of Geology and the IGCP 732 project of the University of Vienna, together with the Forum Anthropozän.

The lecture recordings are now available via the Forum Anthropozän website.
