Giorgia Stasi will be the first ever EGU volunteer to serve as Early Career Scientist Representative and be elected to lead her division, Energy, Resources and Environment, as Division President, whilst still in the Early Career Scientist stage.
EGU stands behind our sibling American scientific societies, providing our support for them and all their members in the face of recent changes to US scientific policy.
The Union restates our support for a geoscience community that is diverse as an essential feature of conducting cutting edge, innovative science research. In order to support this, we share a list of EGU’s tools, resources and policies that our community can use to broaden access to science, both in Europe and around the globe.
Following a vote by EGU’s volunteer Council, the Union will no longer be posting on X, formerly known as Twitter.
