ISSUE 46, OCTOBER 2018 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/46/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS Earlier in October, we announced the winners of the 2019 EGU awards and medals (https://egu.eu/7XMP0Y/): 45 individuals who have made significant contributions to the Earth, planetary and space sciences and who will be honoured at the 2019 EGU General Assembly next April. We have also announced the winners of the Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards corresponding to the 2018 General Assembly, which you can find on our website (https://egu.eu/5AETLA/). Congratulations to all! This month, we also opened the call for abstracts (https://egu.eu/08D3C0/) for the EGU 2019 General Assembly. If you are interested in presenting your work in Vienna in April, make sure you submit your abstract by 10 January 2019, 13:00 CET. If you would like to apply for a Roland Schlich travel grant to attend the meeting, please submit your abstract no later than 1 December 2018. All 2019 EGU members will be able to submit abstracts to the 2019 meeting. With a few exceptions, only one abstract as a first author will be permitted. Please find more information on the EGU website (https://egu.eu/4EFJ2C/). In November, EGU 2018 members will have the opportunity to vote for the next EGU treasurer in the EGU Autumn elections. Check the elections page on our website for more information (https://egu.eu/2NE748/). ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * EGU announces 2019 awards and medals (https://egu.eu/7XMP0Y/) * EGU’s reaction to IPCC report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (https://egu.eu/1B6MMK/) * Educators and teachers: apply now to take part in the 2019 GIFT workshop!
