ISSUE 49, JANUARY 2019 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/49/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS We are thrilled to announce we received over 17,000 abstracts to the EGU General Assembly 2019! We look forward to welcoming all participants in Vienna on 7–12 April. Aside from many exciting scientific sessions and events (https://egu.eu/0LLWTN/), the meeting will have more time for presentations and networking (https://egu.eu/2G7R2G/), an illustrator and sculptor (https://egu.eu/9SYTAD/) as artists in residence, and much more (https://egu.eu/276MA1/). We would also like to remind you that until 31 January, you can apply for the General Assembly Mentoring Programme (https://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 (https://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 (https://egu.eu/4KREL4/) until 15 February, 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 (https://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. The first EGU Galileo Conference of 2019 (https://egu.eu/3JJ0P1/) will be on ‘Mass extinctions, recovery and resilience’ and is now accepting abstracts. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Only a few days to apply for the EGU General Assembly Mentoring Programme (https://egu.eu/9B57MA/, deadline: 31 January) * Abstracts are in!
