This year the EGU Awards Committee received 207 eligible nominations, with 39% of these nominating female scientists. Approximately 42% of this year’s awardees are female. For more information about the awards above, including application and selection criteria and how to apply, please check the Awards & Medals page on this website.

In addition to the Union and Division Awards and Medals, the EGU also bestows a number of awards to students taking part in its annual General Assembly. These OSPP Awards (in 2021 called vOSPP) aim to further improve the overall quality of poster and PICO presentations and foster students’ excitement to present their research at a large scientific conference. The list of recipients of the 2021 OSPP Awards is now available online.
