Apply for a Tertiary Education Geoscience Teaching Materials award: 2026!
29 June 2026
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is inviting applications for grants to deliver geoscience teaching materials at university level. There will be a total of 8 awards funded in 2026. These higher education teaching grants, of up to 1000€ each, can be on any geoscience topic, including laboratory or fieldwork. The grant will be awarded in full upon the submission of the final teaching package.
In 2026, preference will be given to topics and subject areas not covered in previous awards. Applications that are cross-disciplinary and/or multinational, or include early career staff or staff-student collaborations, are especially encouraged.
The teaching packages, which must be self-contained and with all components copyright-free, will be advertised and made available online. The contents will be fully attributed to the author(s), and the expectation is that the resources should be made freely available for download from the EGU website and also from the authors’ personal or institutional website (EGU will advertise a link to this resource). The teaching packages must be accompanied by all the necessary digital or video resources in addition to data, background information, student worksheets, and a reading list.
The teaching materials must be original and written in English. Applications are welcome from any country. Teaching packages will ideally have been either trialed or co-authored with university or college students prior to submission.
Applications must be written in English. The application must contain the following documents:
- a CV of the authors
- a general presentation of the proposed resources (max 4 pages)
Applications should be submitted using this form, by the end of the day, 27 July 2026. The final teaching packages must be submitted by 25 November 2026. All proposals will be reviewed based on the above criteria and the scientific and pedagogic merit, timeliness, relevance, and feasibility of the project, and all decisions are final.
