As noted on Monday we are delighted to have our national team involved in a number of sessions at the EGU General Assembly 2014 in Vienna, Austria. Today we outline a number of other sessions that may interest our readers… please do look at the full list, as we can’t profile every session on here!
Remember – abstracts for all of these sessions – and many more – can be submitted via the EGU 2014 website, with a deadline of 16th January 2014, and that there are also financial bursary packages available (funded and administered by the EGU, not ourselves) for young scientists and scientists from low-middle income countries. The deadline for all bursary applications is 29th November 2013.
