With the EGU General Assembly (GA) less than a month away, attendees should start planning their schedules to get the most out of the week. In today’s blog, Geodynamics (GD) Division Early Career Scientist (ECS) representative Garima Shukla highlights the GD Division’s networking events and provides an overview of key events at the GA.
Networking Events: Geodynamics Division
What: ECS Pre-GA Icebreaker
When: 15:00-18:30 Sunday 27 April
Where: Copa Beach
This Icebreaker event is designed for Early Career Scientists to meet before the start of the General Assembly. We’ll be meeting at Copa Beach at 3 pm. It’s the perfect opportunity to get to know other attendees from the Geodynamics, Geodesy, Solar-Terrestrial Sciences and Planetary & Solar System Sciences Divisions. Bring your own drinks and snacks for a relaxing afternoon on the banks of the Danube.
What: Division meeting for Geodynamics
When: 12:45-13:45 Wednesday, 30 April
Where: Room K1
We encourage all geodynamicists to come along to the annual Geodynamics Division meeting. This meeting will provide a summary of this years activities and will also share forward plans. This is the primary forum for the geodynamics community to share their thoughts and ideas on the direction of our division. Lunch will be provided.
What: Geodynamics ECS Dinner
When: 19:00-20:30 Thursday 01 May
Where: Gigerl restaurant @19:00; meet at EGU booth @ 18:30
The Geodynamics ECS Dinner is a great opportunity to connect with other geodynamicists from across the world. We’ll meet at the EGU booth at 18:30 and make our way to Gigerl restaurant. It is essential to sign-up for this dinner as places are limited. To attend, register via this form.
What: Meet the GD president and ECS representative for a discussion
