The annual Get-Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The KoMet Day is an annual event that has been held since 2019 to facilitate exchange and networking, and it is one of the annual highlights among the events organized by the Competence Field of Metroplitan Research. The event has an interdisciplinary focus and is aimed at KoMet researchers and the academic community, as well as various regional, national, and international stakeholders from the business, political, and civil society sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the KoMet Day, KoMet addresses a different current topic in metropolitan studies each year. Within this framework, KoMet researchers provide insights into their areas of expertise and research interests. Contributions from other national and international experts round out the program. Panel discussions and interactive opportunities for participation help foster a lively and nuanced discussion as part of this event series. The networking format of the KoMet Day also serves as the annual meeting for all KoMet researchers. During this meeting, participants reflect on past research activities and discuss future initiatives for KoMet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
