ISSUE 26, FEBRUARY 2017 EGU NEWSLETTER Monthly information service for members of the European Geosciences Union Read this email in HTML format at https://www.egu.eu/newsletter/egu/26/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS In just a couple of days, the meeting programme for the EGU 2017 General Assembly (https://www.egu2017.eu, 23–28 April, Vienna) will be published online. If you have an abstract accepted to the meeting, you should receive your letter of schedule soon, too. Before then, make sure you enter the EGU Photo Competition (https://egu.eu/1V82J5, deadline 1 March) for a chance to win a free registration to next year's General Assembly. For the first time, the EGU is offering a mentoring programme for novice conference attendees at its annual General Assembly to connect them with more experienced participants. The programme promises to be a rewarding experience for both mentees and mentors, so do consider signing up (https://egu.eu/9B57MA) if you are either an early career scientist (ECS) or would like to mentor first timers! For those interested in helping further the EGU outreach and ECS programmes, apply to be an ECS representative (https://egu.eu/8KEXTH) or be part of the EGU Outreach Committee (https://egu.eu/0AI1WG). If you'd like to organise an EGU Galileo Conference, a meeting addressing a well-focused, cutting-edge topic at the frontier of geosciences research, this is your last chance to apply for funding (https://egu.eu/4Z7SLQ) from the EGU (deadline 28 February). ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Editorial malpractice in two EGU journals (SOIL and SE) detected for one editor, others cleared (https://egu.eu/49VR8N) * Apply to be an EGU division early career scientist representative (https://egu.eu/8KEXTH) * EGU Outreach Committee seeking new members (https://egu.eu/0AI1WG, deadline 31 March) * Press Release: Less snow and a shorter ski season in the Alps (https://egu.eu/8QK8FC) * EGU Galileo Conference programme: call for proposals (https://egu.eu/4Z7SLQ, deadline 28 February) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Applications open for the EGU General Assembly Mentoring Programme (https://egu.eu/9B57MA, deadline 26 March 2017) * EGU 2017: Imaggeo Photo Competition (https://egu.eu/7I72JH, deadline 1 March) * Register to attend the EGU General Assembly (https://egu.eu/8VR68E, early registration rate deadline 16 March) * Are you organising an EGU2017-related activity in Vienna in the week before or after the General Assembly?
