The EGU General Assembly brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting that covers all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The conference is taking place in Vienna on 8–13 April 2018, providing an opportunity for both established scientists and early career researchers to present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of the geosciences.
Registration and abstract submission
Early registration for the conference is open until 1 March 2018. You can register online on the Registration section of the General Assembly website.
Note that EGU members benefit from reduced member rates. If you register to attend the conference before 1 March 2018 and you are an EGU member, your weekly ticket will cost €390. A similar early-bird discount is available to non-members, but weekly ticket costs are significantly higher: €530. A similar pricing structure is in place for PhD students who are EGU members.
Those registering after 1 March will no longer enjoy early registration discounts, regardless of their membership and career status. To become a member, or renew your EGU membership, go to www.egu.eu/membership/.
You can get a feel for the great geoscience that will be discussed at the meeting by browsing through the EGU 2018 sessions. Clicking on ‘please select’ allows you to search for sessions by Programme Group. You’ll then be able to view the sessions in more detail and submit an abstract to its relevant session.
The deadline for abstract submission is 10 January 2017, 13:00 CET. The full meeting programme will be made available on 20 February 2018.
Submit your townhall and splinter meeting requests
Also available on the conference website are the request forms for townhall and splinter meetings.
Townhall meetings are meetings open to all conference participants. At townhall meetings, new initiatives or decisions are announced to a larger audience, followed by an open discussion on the matter raised. If you’d like to organise a townhall, be sure to submit your request before 18 January 2018.
During the conference, side meetings on non-commercial matters organized by participants can be reserved for two successive time blocks free of charge in the rooms mentioned below. Commercial meetings are subject to a charge dependent on the meeting size – for details check the website.
More details about the short courses, splinter and townhall meetings at the conference will be given in an upcoming blog post.
