In this week’s post, we share the Cryosphere division highlights at EGU26 with you. If it’s your first time at EGU, they might be a great starting point to get to know other division members and if you are already an EGU expert, these events are always a nice opportunity to reconnect with old friends.

Some tips to get through EGU
- Take time to plan your week schedule ahead. For this, the EGU26 can be really helpful as it allows you to create your personal conference programme.
- Don’t forget to take some breaks and enjoy beautiful Vienna or the park around the conference center.
- Don’t be afraid to check out topics outside your expertise, you might be surprised what you can find.
- Some rooms fill up fast, so show up early to secure a seat.
- Also check out EGU’s YouTube channel for useful videos to prepare for the conference.
- Bring an old lanyard if you have one.
- Bring a water bottle, there are plenty of water fountains to refill it.
- Check out the morning EGU today news for daily highlights (available through the EGU26 app).
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
