This multidisciplinary symposium was organized by the Humboldt Association of Canada (HAC) and included academics, researchers, scholars, leading scientists, and government officials from Canada and Germany. The Kolleg featured various prominent keynote speakers, as well as various brief presentations and discussion forums around the theme of earth from Humboldt Fellows.
The symposium took the opportunity to promote the programmes of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Bonn) to young Canadian scholars, while allowing them to network with alumni of those programmes.
