ISSUE 54, JUNE 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/54/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS June marked an important chapter in the EGU history. The Union has launched a new vision and strategy (https://egu.eu/5FIZPS) for the next five years and announced a move of the EGU Executive Office to new premises. We have also announced two job vacancies (https://egu.eu/43QI2L) at the office, for a Head of Media, Communications & Outreach and for a Chief Strategy & Finance Officer. The deadline for applications is 14 July. We have also opened a call for financial support to organise EGU training schools (https://egu.eu/5719I2) and conferences (https://egu.eu/1ATSMJ) this month. Finally, we opened the EGU General Assembly 2020 call for sessions (https://egu.eu/9XEJTI). You can submit your sessions ideas by 15 August (Union Symposia and Great Debates) or 5 September (other session types). ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * New job vacancies at the EGU office: Head of Media, Communications & Outreach and Chief Strategy & Finance Officer (https://egu.eu/43QI2L) * New chapter for EGU: announcing the Union’s strategic plan and office move (https://egu.eu/5FIZPS) * Apply for EGU financial support for training schools (https://egu.eu/5719I2) and conference series (https://egu.eu/1ATSMJ) * Press release: Climate impact of clouds made from airplane contrails may triple by 2050 (https://egu.eu/4MW6UM) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Submit your session ideas for the EGU General Assembly 2020 (https://egu.eu/9XEJTI)!
