content-related
'inhaltlich' and 'thematisch' are close in meaning because both have to do with the content or topic of something. 'thematisch' mainly says which topic something belongs to or how it is organized by topic. 'inhaltlich' is broader and means the statements, ideas, and information themselves. Learners can easily confuse the words because both occur with texts, courses, or events. If you only mean the subject area, 'thematisch' fits better. If you mean the quality or the exact content, 'inhaltlich' is more natural.
