The meeting point will be between entrances 1 and 2 of the conference centre, for a departure around 12:05 towards the park (weather permitting, else a backup plan will be decided on the spot). All ECSs are welcome to join, meet, and chat with peers about career prospects, future collaborations, and any other topic you enjoy!Please note that participants are expected to bring their own food!
Finally, we are also launching a Slack workspace (egu-st-networking.slack.com) open to all ST Division members (not only ECSs!) to facilitate networking during and after EGU22.

We are looking forward to meeting you during those events and on Slack, and we wish you all a pleasant and stimulating EGU22!
