ISSUE 9, SEPTEMBER 2015 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/9/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS September brought important EGU news, from changes to EGU publications (https://egu.eu/37Q346) to the launch of the call for proposals for EGU Galileo Conferences (https://egu.eu/6KJUDP). In addition, EGU Science Policy Fellow Sarah Connors (https://egu.eu/6PZEB5) has started working for the Union, increasing the size of the EGU Executive Office team (https://egu.eu/5UYBH1) from six to seven members. Sarah will be working to implement science-policy related activities for EGU scientists. Finally, if you are an early career scientist, check out the links in this newsletter marked with [ECS] as they are of particular relevance to researchers in the earlier stages of their careers (but may also be of interest to more senior scientists)! ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Changes for EGU interactive journals: new library and payment concept (https://egu.eu/37Q346) * Introducing the EGU Executive Office: meet the team behind EGU activities!
