ISSUE 19, JULY 2016 EGU NEWSLETTER Monthly information service for members of the European Geosciences Union Read this email in HTML format at https://www.egu.eu/newsletter/egu/19/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS In July, the EGU launched a call for candidates for the next EGU Treasurer and Division Presidents. Until 15 September, you are welcome and encouraged to nominate yourself using the form on the EGU website (https://egu.eu/34B8G0). EGU, through Copernicus Meetings, has also launched the call for EGU 2017 General Assembly session proposals in the past month. Please submit your session proposals online (https://egu.eu/7F375Y) by 9 September. July was also a particularly busy month on the EGU blogs. We are revamping the EGU blog network and have launched a call for new bloggers to join us (https://egu.eu/2PQZC6, deadline 8 August). In addition, three new blogs joined the EGU division blogs: Earth and Space Science Informatics, Planetary Sciences, and Tectonics and Structural Geology.
