The EGU can play a key role in this process, with its advice already being considered in major policy developments such as the Nature Restoration Law. As part of these efforts, the EGU Science-for-Policy Team (led by Chloe Hill) publishes a monthly newsletter that highlights opportunities for scientists to engage with policy, important legislative updates, …
Every two years, the VAO Symposium facilitates the exchange of the latest research findings and future collaborative research pursuits in the Alps among members and interested individuals.
