Are you an Early Career Scientist interested in exploring career opportunities beyond academia? Join our guided Exhibitor Tour at the EGU General Assembly 2026!

In small groups (max. 20 participants per group), you will visit selected exhibitor booths from both scientific and industry organisations. This is your chance to learn about their work, discover internships and job opportunities, and gain insights into the skills and profiles they are looking for.

The tour is designed to provide a relaxed and supportive environment to engage with exhibitors—especially if it is your first time at EGU.

Tuesday, 5 May, and Wednesday, 6 May, starting at 10:00 CET and lasting approximately 90 minutes.

Enjoy a student or PhD presentation at the GA? 

Your feedback and vote can make a real difference. As an OSPP judge, you help recognize and encourage emerging researchers.

✨ Give back, support early-career scientists, and highlight great work

Each year, EGU honours individuals and teams for their significant contributions to the Earth, planetary, and space sciences by bestowing more than 50 medals and awards during the spring General Assembly. Any EGU member can nominate someone for an award or medal, and the process is probably easier than you think, so submit a nomination by 15 June 2026 and get your friends and colleagues the recognition they deserve! 

If you have questions for the EGU26 programme please contact the programme group chair and/or the scientific officers of the specific programme groups. For anything else you can always contact us at ere@egu.eu
