Dear ERE community,

Welcome to the June newsletter of the EGU Energy, Resources, and the Environment Division!

This month, we look back on a successful EGU General Assembly 2026 and we share different opportunities to stay engaged throughout the year, including EGU funding opportunities and the open call for ERE EDI officer position.

Have a great June!

General Assembly 2026 - Thank you!

🥗 One of the highlights of EGU26 was our ERE Early Career Networking Lunch!

It was wonderful to see so many people join, including many who were meeting for the first time. A round of bingo helped break the ice, and soon the room was full of lively conversations that continued well beyond lunch.

Thank you to everyone who came along!

We look forward to seeing you again next year!

🍽️ A wonderful evening to wrap up EGU26 with the ERE community!

The division dinner brought together great conversations, delicious Austrian cuisine, and a relaxed atmosphere after an inspiring week. 

A big thank you to everyone who joined and made the evening so enjoyable! 🥨✨

Highlights and deadlines

🌍 Stay connected with EGU ERE!

This year, we introduced our new ERE Linktree - your central hub for all ERE activities and updates.

During the EGU General Assembly and throughout the year, we will share information on upcoming events, networking activities, community initiatives, and opportunities to get involved.

The EGU ERE Campfire brings our community together for informal discussions, scientific exchange, and networking throughout the year.

Are you interested in sharing your research, ideas, or experiences with the ERE community? We are looking for speakers for upcoming Campfire events!

If you would like to give a talk or suggest a topic, get in touch with us: ecs-ere@egu.eu

If you submitted an abstract to an ERE session or a co-organized session at the GA 2026, you are welcome to submit a manuscript for publication to the ERE Special Issue 2026 in Advances in Geosciences (ADGEO).

📍 Submissions are open from 1 April to 30 June 2026

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Michael Kühn at adgeo.ere.egu@gfz.de .

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! 

The EGU Council recently approved the opening for a new Division level  EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity) Officer position at their February 2026 meeting. This voluntary position provides the opportunity for exchange at the Division level with the workings of the EGU-EDI Committee. The goal is to nurture a two-way exchange focussed on EDI initiatives that can be fostered between the ERE Division level and the EGU EDI Committee.

The selected Division EDI Officer will join a team of volunteers from other Divisions, to strengthen and raise awareness of EDI activities within the Union.

What is the role of a Division EDI Officer? 

Division EDI Officers are the point of contact for Division members to collect feedback and ideas on EDI initiatives. They will form a bridge between the Division and the EDI Committee by supporting EDI initiatives throughout the year, particularly during the General Assembly (e.g., supporting activities at the EGU EDI booth, attending EDI networking events), and by sharing information and activities from the EDI Committee with their Division President to be shared with the Division Membership. Division EDI Officers will discuss their Division-level initiatives with the Division president and the EDI Committee to ensure efficient communication and coordination in order to avoid duplication of efforts. Division EDI officers will be invited to participate in annual Division meetings generally held during the General Assembly in Vienna.

Previous engagement in EDI activities is not required for this voluntary position, but applicants should be aware of the diverse EDI-related issues in scientific communities.

How to apply? 

To apply, please email a single pdf with your CV (max. 2 pages) and a cover letter (max. 1 page) outlining your motivation and any relevant experience to ere@egu.eu. Please also note that only complete applications, submitted in English, can be considered. 

If you have any further questions about the Division EDI Officer position, please contact the EGU EDI Committee (edi@egu.eu) and the ERE President (ere@egu.eu).

The EGU community remains active long after the General Assembly. Explore funding opportunities, workshops, webinars, grants, science-policy initiatives, and career development activities available throughout the summer. Several application deadlines fall in June.
