Even though EGU26 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.

From 1 June 2026 all the recorded Union Symposia, Great Debates and Union Medal and Award Lectures will become free to watch without registration on the EGU26 on-demand recordings page, so that people from around the world can access these keynote livestreamed events, for free at any time.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe. With our partner organisations worldwide, we foster fundamental geoscience research, alongside applied research that addresses key societal and environmental challenges. Our vision is to realise a sustainable and just future for humanity and for the planet. We publish a number of diverse scientific journals, which use an innovative open access format, and organise topical meetings, and education and outreach activities. Follow the EGU on social media.
