ISSUE 59, NOVEMBER 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/59/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS This month the EGU held its first science-policy pairing scheme (https://egu.eu/0YLH47/), during which a Union member provided scientific testimony and worked alongside a Member of the European Parliament for two days in Brussels. We also published a new policy report (https://egu.eu/4HECLS/) summarising the key outcomes from EGU's 2019 science policy event, Shaping EU Missions: bridging the gap between geoscience and policy (https://egu.eu/6HDWY7/), held in Brussels in October. In other news, we have opened the call for applications for EGU Public Engagement Grants (https://egu.eu/67UF3L/) (due 15 February 2020) and for EGU Galileo Conference proposals (https://egu.eu/4Z7SLQ/) (due 29 February 2020). We also announced a job vacancy (https://egu.eu/7KJ5Y1/) at the Union office for a Chief Strategy & Finance Officer. The deadline for applications is 8 January 2020. If you’d like to apply for funding to support travel to the General Assembly next year, please submit your conference abstract (https://egu.eu/8KL4DC/) by 1 December 2019. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Vote for the next EGU President, General Secretary and Division Presidents (https://egu.eu/0N8DZU/) (deadline: 30 November 2019) * Applications are now open for: * EGU Public Engagement Grants 2020 (https://egu.eu/67UF3L/) (due 15 February 2020) * EGU 2020 Science Journalism Fellowships (https://egu.eu/18ZR67/) (up to €5k for journalists, due 13 December 2019) * Educators and teachers to participate in the 2020 GIFT workshop (https://egu.eu/3125ZG/) (due 30 November 2019) and to serve as one of EGU’s three new geoscience field education officers (https://egu.eu/0M45EY/) (due 2 December 2019) * Policy news: EGU held its first science-policy pairing scheme (https://egu.eu/0YLH47/) in Brussels * Policy brief: Key outcomes (https://egu.eu/4HECLS/ ) from EGU’s “Shaping EU Missions: bridging the gap between geoscience and policy” event * Please forward to your contacts: New job vacancy (https://egu.eu/7KJ5Y1/) at the EGU office: Chief Strategy & Finance Officer (due 8 January 2020) More EGU news (https://www.egu.eu/news/all/) items are available on the EGU website. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * The EGU 2020 session programme is now available on the 2020 General Assembly website (http://www.egu2020.eu).
