Awards & Medals
The EGU Awards & Medals programme recognizes every year eminent scientists for their outstanding research contribution in the Earth, planetary and space sciences, and identifies the awardees as role models for the next generation of young scientists to foster geosciences research.
Winners of EGU Medals or Awards can be nominated as EGU Ambassadors. In this role, they are delegated to attend meetings hosted by other organizations, and to offer special presentations and lectures labeled as EGU contributions.

- At Union level:

- At Division level:

- In relation with its General Assemblies, EGU presents the Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Award to further improve the overall quality of poster presentations and, most importantly, to foster the excitement of younger colleagues in presenting their work in poster form.
