The statistics from EGU25 highlight how engaged our members and participants are in connecting with people around the world to discuss and debate the latest geoscience research results.
By the numbers, the week of EGU25 included:
- 1102 scientific sessions
- 20,984 individuals registered, with 18,646 joining us in Vienna from 120 countries, and 2,338 joining virtually from 104 countries
- 275 Roland Schlich Travel Support grants were issued, along with 1,252 virtual registration waivers
- 18,934 presentations, given in poster, oral and PICO presentation formats, both on-site and virtually, 56% of which were contributions from Early Career Scientists (ECS)

Even though EGU25 is over, much of the scientific information from this year’s General Assembly is still available online. As with previous years, all supplementary materials uploaded with open access permission will be available on EGUsphere.
Over the next few months we will also be uploading our Union Symposia, Great Debates and Union Medal Lectures onto EGU’s YouTube channel, so that people from around the world can access these keynote livestreamed events, for free at any time.
