The EGU welcomes proposals of support for the Galileo Conferences: a newly established type of meeting which will be fully supported by EGU.
The EGU Galileo conferences address well-focused cutting-edge topics at the frontier of geosciences research. A limited number, typically about one hundred internationally recognised scientists meet for 3-5 days to discuss and debate issues at the forefront of the discipline. The conferences are informal: the state-of-the-art is outlined in keynote presentations designed to trigger in-depth discussion of important aspects of the conference topic.
EGU provides comprehensive organisational support to the EGU Galileo Conferences, thereby allowing organising committees to focus on the scientific aspects of the conference. Web hosting, as well as the abstract, programme and registration management are provided by the EGU. The costs of other logistical services (e.g. venue, poster boards, catering, Wi-Fi facilities, etc.) are negotiated by EGU with the providers and are covered by registration fees and support from other organisations.
