This meeting is a critical event for our community, a place for scientists to get new ideas and come together to discuss their work, plans and struggles, in a world that is increasing ...[Read More]

All too often organisations can claim sustainability initiatives that don’t really do much to help the environment, known as ‘greenwashing’. For several years, EGU has committed – both in terms of our resources and the research we support – to help create a cleaner and greener environment in real terms.

On my way home, I browse ...[Read More]

The EGU General Assembly provides ground for formal presentations and sessions conveying a body of knowledge. However, science is so much more. It is a social process driven by shared values, such as openness and integrity, and established customs, like peer review. As such, working in science is inherently a collaborative effort, and the EGU supports that by giving participants plenty of opportun ...[Read More]
Science is a bit like posting a letter – once you’ve written the letter it needs to be delivered to the right people and in the right way. At EGU24 attendees are invited to participate in the numerous and diverse selection of sessions which aim to improve how you deliver your research, how you understand the needs of different audiences – from policy-makers to school students – and whi ...[Read More]
