This third GAeF START conference on aerosol science will be hosted by the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) in Leipzig on 10 and 11 March 2026. The aim of GAeF is to organize a high-quality scientific conference that fosters interaction and exchange among GAeF members. During GAeF START 2026 the next GAeF PhD Awards will be granted. One of the highlights will be tandem talks by invited speakers, addressing a specific topic from two perspectives in order to blend the boundaries of the different research fields in aerosol sciences. The meeting will be held in a single session format (no parallel sessions), so that all participants will have the opportunity to learn about the newest developments in the entire range of aerosol science. Ample space and time will be provided for interactive sessions. The scientific exchange will be rounded off by the ceremony of the GAeF PhD awards in the evening of 10 March 2026. So don't miss the opportunity to join START 2026. With a history going back almost 1,000 years, Leipzig is famous as a city of culture and trade, history and music. It is the site of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. Passageways and exhibition halls evoke the city's tradition as a centre for trade fairs, which goes back over many centuries. Significant artists worked here, like Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Robert and Clara Schumann. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was a student in Leipzig, named the City „Little Paris“.
