ISSUE 25, JANUARY 2017 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/25/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS Thank you to everyone who submitted an abstract to the EGU 2017 General Assembly (https://www.egu2017.eu)! With over 17,500 abstracts received, and an improved set up to accommodate the high number of expected participants (https://egu.eu/66UZ2O), the conference promises to be the largest and most exciting to date. We look forward to welcoming everyone in Vienna on 23-28 April! We would also like to draw your attention to a couple of deadlines we have coming up. The first regards a job opportunity at the EGU Executive Office: if you'd like to help us bridge the gap between science and policymaking, consider applying for our vacancy (https://egu.eu/7FZQ1G) by 5 February. Until 15 February you can also apply to receive one of EGU's Public Engagement Grants (https://egu.eu/76F3SI) to develop a project that aims to raise awareness of geosciences outside the scientific community. For the chance to win a free registration to next year's General Assembly, consider applying to the Communicate Your Science Video Competition (https://egu.eu/8JSEU2, by 26 February, for early career scientists) or to the EGU Photo Competition (https://egu.eu/1V82J5, by 1 March). Last but not the least, if you'd like to organise an EGU Galileo Conference, a meeting addressing a well-focused, cutting-edge topic at the frontier of geosciences research, make sure to apply for funding by 28 February (https://egu.eu/4Z7SLQ). For those interested in helping further the EGU education programme, apply to be part of the EGU Committee on Education (https://egu.eu/7HPOUF). ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * EGU Committee on Education seeking two new members (https://egu.eu/7HPOUF, deadline 31 January) * EGU Galileo Conference programme: call for proposals (https://egu.eu/4Z7SLQ, deadline 28 February) * Job opportunity at the EGU Executive Office: Science Policy Officer (https://egu.eu/7FZQ1G, deadline 5 February) * Applications open for EGU Public Engagement Grants (https://egu.eu/6SYDAK, deadline 15 February) * Press Release: Jane Qiu and Jane Palmer awarded EGU Science Journalism Fellowship (https://egu.eu/1DEJMG) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * A first-timer’s guide to the 2017 General Assembly (https://egu.eu/2USI5H) * Abstracts are in!
