The WiGeoH-Salon, usually held on the premises of the Institute of Economic and Cultural Geography, is one of the established events of the Economic Geography Alumni Association in Hanover that is highly appreciated by students and alumni alike. On 29 November 2023, the time had come again: for the first time, guests, students, association members and other alumni met for an informative exchange for all participants, moderated by Janina Hümer from the WiGeoH board.
For the first time, the WiGeoH Salon was dedicated to the professional field of "Transport and Mobility". Our alumni Silas Föhr from ÜSTRA Hannoversche Verkehrsbetriebe AG and Lukas Arndt from slb Projektsteuerung Region Hannover GmbH reported very vividly and openly about their day-to-day work. Christina Plotz (mobilité Unternehmensberatung GmbH&Co KG, Cologne) also joined the subsequent meeting in a nearby restaurant, as Deutsche Bahn unfortunately made it impossible for her to take part in the panel as planned. The students and alumni of Economic Geography in Hanover took the opportunity to ask our guests about application tips, required skills and individual experiences in this professional field in a relaxed atmosphere.
The next WiGeoH Salon could take place in May/June 2024, the professional field will be announced early on the WiGeoH website.
