ISSUE 47, NOVEMBER 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/47/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS This month, we have announced changes to the EGU General Assembly 2019 schedule, which aim to give more time for all presentation types. Check our news announcement (https://egu.eu/2G7R2G/) for more information. If you’d like to apply for funding to attend the meeting (https://egu.eu/34439Z/) next year, make sure to submit your conference abstract (https://egu.eu/0LLWTN/) by 1 December! In other news, we have opened applications to the EGU General Assembly 2019 mentoring programme (https://egu.eu/9B57MA), and are advertising a job opportunity (https://egu.eu/8KZ62W/) for geoscientists with science communication experience to work at the meeting. Also this month, we opened the call for applications for EGU Public Engagement Grants (https://egu.eu/724CO9/), and have announced the creation of the EGU Working Group on Diversity and Equality (https://egu.eu/7673OH/). In addition, we opened the EGU Autumn 2018 Elections for the next EGU Treasurer (https://egu.eu/78G1JM/): you have until 30 November to cast your vote. We’ll be announcing the results early next week. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Vote for the next EGU Treasurer (https://egu.eu/78G1JM/, deadline: 30 November) * EGU policy brief: increasing collaboration between geoscience, policy and industry (https://egu.eu/45V7O7/) * Applications open for EGU Public Engagement Grants 2019 (https://egu.eu/724CO9/) * Mobile-friendly websites and full-text html papers for EGU journals (https://egu.eu/3X6FOJ/) * EGU establishes Working Group on Diversity and Equality (https://egu.eu/7673OH/) * Press release: applications open for EGU 2019 Science Journalism Fellowships (up to €5k) until 6 December (https://egu.eu/5EVDBA/) * Press release: what seabirds can tell us about the tide (https://egu.eu/6NE4BO/) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * More time for all presentation types in the new EGU General Assembly schedule (https://egu.eu/2G7R2G/) * Financial support to attend the EGU General Assembly 2019 (https://egu.eu/34439Z/, deadline: 1 December) * A first-timer’s guide to the EGU General Assembly 2019 (https://egu.eu/4U09EW/) * Applications open for the EGU General Assembly Mentoring Programme (https://egu.eu/9B57MA/) * Job opportunity at the EGU General Assembly: press assistant (https://egu.eu/8KZ62W/, deadline: 10 December) * Please note that the Vienna City Marathon (40,000 participants) will take place in Vienna on Sunday, 7 April, resulting in many hotels being fully booked the night before.
