Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of our members and volunteers, EGU25 was another record breaking year with an incredible 20,984 people participating in the General Assembly, both in Vienna and online!
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.

The past year, I found myself spending a public holiday in …
Every year, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly transforms Vienna into a bustling hub of scientific discovery. Tens of thousands of scientists from around the world gather to present their latest research, but how do these discoveries reach the public? That’s where the EGU press centre comes in—a space where science meets storytelling, and complex research is translated into stories that inspire, inform, and spark conversations worldwide. Our role: Connecting scientists and the world At the heart of our …
Have you ever wondered what energy resilience means and how we can prepare for the future while facing extreme weather events? In this week’s blog, PhD Student Spilios Iliopoulos from the Division of Environmental Technology and Management at Linköping University, shares his thoughts about energy resilience and the important role of having in place holistic frameworks, whilst facing extreme weather events and other challenges in the future. While writing this short article, the memories (and trauma) from the second winter …
