ISSUE 37, JANUARY 2018 EGU NEWSLETTER Monthly information service for members of the European Geosciences Union Read this email in HTML format at www.egu.eu/newsletter/egu/37/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS We are excited to announce we received over 17,000 EGU 2018 General Assembly abstracts! We look forward to welcoming all participants in Vienna on 8–13 April. We would also like to remind you that until tomorrow, 31 January, you can apply for the General Assembly Mentoring Programme (egu.eu/9B57MA), either as a mentor, if you are an experienced General Assembly attendee, or as a mentee, if you are a first-timer at the meeting. Until 15 February, you can enter the Imaggeo Photo Contest (egu.eu/0MDBRK) for a chance to win a free registration to next year’s General Assembly. You can also apply to receive an EGU Public Engagement Grant (egu.eu/3O6CM2), if you have a geoscience outreach project you’d like to develop. Winners receive 1000 EUR and a free registration to next year's General Assembly. Last but not the least, if you'd like to organise an EGU Galileo Conference (egu.eu/4Z7SLQ), a meeting addressing a well-focused, cutting-edge topic at the frontier of geosciences research, make sure to apply for funding by 28 February. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Applications open for the EGU General Assembly Mentoring Programme (egu.eu/9B57MA, deadline 31 January) * A first-timer’s guide to the 2018 General Assembly (egu.eu/3LR4IT) * Abstracts are in!
