ISSUE 40, APRIL 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/40/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS Earlier this month, we hosted a record-breaking number of participants (over 15,000) at our annual EGU General Assembly in Vienna. The meeting included over 17,000 poster, oral and PICO presentations in over 650 sessions, as well as a number of popular short courses and side events. We are grateful to all participants, including conveners, the EGU Programme Committee, Copernicus Meetings, conference assistants, and ACV and EGU office staff, for making the meeting a success. If you participated in the meeting, we especially welcome your suggestions and feedback (https://egu2018.eu/feedback, deadline: 3 June), which will be instrumental in ensuring an even more successful General Assembly in 2019 (7–12 April, Vienna). Finally, we would like to remind you that we are currently accepting nominations for the 2019 EGU awards and medals (https://egu.eu/0OQHPJ). To promote the best deserving geoscientists from around the world and increase diversity in the group of EGU awardees and medallists, we encourage the EGU membership to consider gender, geographical, and cultural balance when nominating outstanding Earth, planetary and space scientists at various career stages. Please consider submitting a nomination by 15 June. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Help us improve the meeting by giving us your feedback (https://egu2018.eu/feedback.html, deadline 3 June) * EGU 2018 General Assembly numbers, thank-you to all participants (https://www.egu2018.eu) and highlights video (https://www.egu.eu/0B9M6E) * Watch the EGU 2018 Union sessions, medal lectures, great debates and press conferences online (https://www.egu.eu/351HP8) * Abstract authors: upload your EGU 2018 presentation online (https://www.egu.eu/9ZPWWB) * The EGU 2018 General Assembly documented through art (https://www.egu.eu/6CMB96) * Announcing the winners of this year’s EGU Imaggeo Photo Contest (https://www.egu.eu/41Y6NY) * Coverage of the EGU 2018 General Assembly on GeoLog, the EGU blog (https://www.egu.eu/3FZNIU) * See the links in the blogs section for reports on the EGU 2018 meeting from the various divisions More about the EGU General Assembly at www.egu2018.eu. ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Joint EGU-AGU statement of principles for a code of ethics for the geosciences (https://www.egu.eu/70LSG7) * New EGU opportunity for early career scientists to be involved with policy (https://www.egu.eu/3HK5L9) * EGU 2018 Public Engagement Grants awarded to Suzanne Imber and Fabio Bonali (https://www.egu.eu/7294ED) * Solid Earth website relaunched (https://www.egu.eu/9M4Z2T) * Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (AMT) celebrates its 10th anniversary (https://www.egu.eu/5VHR0T) * What changes are needed in EU funding for the geosciences (https://www.egu.eu/4OX163)?
