❓What were your highlights in 2025?
🥂 #OnThisDay in 1975, our institute was officially inaugurated. 🎈🎉 Work had already begun earlier that year, but the official opening ceremony dates to December 5. This year, we celebrated 50 Years Of Climate Research with many people & lots of activities (https://mpimet.mpg.de/en/anniversary/events-for-everyone-looking-back). Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us, it has been a wonderful year! #MPIM50

As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, our institute had a fantastic summer party last Friday with our staff & former colleagues! 🎂🌍 The afternoon was filled with sunshine, food 🌭🥗🍰, music 🎶, + good company. 📸💬 As a highlight, we took a picture with all our staff to remind us of this special year. Kudos to Yvonne Schrader who prepared this photo op & isn’t in the picture because she took it! Check out the making-of: https://vimeo.com/1097831218/7c71894ab2?share=copy

Beim nächsten Vortrag im Rahmen der Ringvorlesung "Hamburger Perspektiven zur Klimaforschung", die wir dieses Semester im Rahmen unseres Jubiläums organisieren, diskutiert Simone Rödder (#UHH) am Beispiel des #IPCC, wie dieser Expertise herstellt & wie daran in der Gesellschaft angeschlossen wird, z.B. durch die #Klimabewegung. Die Veranstaltung ist offen für alle!

🔭🎶 Science+music do have much more in common than one might think–as demonstrated last night at our highly anticipated climate concert at #Halle424! About 100 people witnessed the deeply moving performance delivered by the orchestra of the Hochschule für Musik und Theater #Hamburg led by Thomas Dorsch, & the insightful scientific presentations by Yuting Wu & Johann Jungclaus. 🎻🪈🪉 Thanks so much to everyone who contributed, & thanks to everyone who joined us on this special occasion.#MPIM50

🎓 To mark the milestone of our institute’s anniversary, we had two great events on April 23 – a symposium and a Senate Reception, with many colleagues, companions, and friends who joined us on this special day.

🎥 This short video captures the spirit, moments, and memories from both gatherings, celebrating our community, achievements, and continued commitment to excellence. ✨

50 Years of Climate Research at the MPI for Meteorology

🌥️ Though familiar features of our skies, #clouds are surprisingly elusive. Last night, in a highly anticipated public lecture at Feldstraßenbunker in #Hamburg, our director Bjorn Stevens set out to explore and address some of the fundamental questions driving scientific research on clouds. A particular highlight of the talk was a series of engaging #experiments that demonstrated the physical processes behind cloud formation. Someone may have gotten wet! 👀💦 #MPIM50 #SciComm #Wisskomm #UHH
