EGU NEWSLETTER - ISSUE 98, FEBRUARY 2023 ======================================== EGU observes Women in Science Month! Exceptional stories from extraordinary women, and alternative careers for women in science This month, EGU celebrated International Day for Women and Girls in Science, all through February! We spoke to scores of talented women in science to hear their stories(https://egu.eu/6TLPWV/), the paths that they have taken, and what their science means to them. We also asked what drives them to excel in their field and how other young girls and women can embrace careers in science(https://egu.eu/3B32UF/). Click to read both blogs now! We have heard the expression ‘making a mountain of a molehill’. But most women cannot report a molehill, and most men do not think they are part of the problem(https://egu.eu/442MLW/). Ingrid Anell examines this complex web, the challenges that hinder gender equity and ways to keep women in academia. As a reminder, registrations are open for EGU23(https://www.egu23.eu/)! Members of the media are eligible for free registration, see more here(https://egu.eu/8AZQ5L/). Stay tuned for our next monthly Update from our conference organiser Copernicus, arriving early March.

Smart4Policy: Reflect on your policy engagement skills The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre has launched a Smart4Policy online self-reflection tool(https://smart-for-policy.ec.europa.eu/) to help policymakers and science-for-policy researchers reflect on their competence in fields relating to policy engagement. The tool helps you understand where your strengths lie and what areas you can improve on to increase your policy impact. And as always, don’t miss this month’s Science for Policy Newsletter(https://www.egu.eu/newsletter/policy/24/html/) that features some new, exciting and interactive science for policy initiatives!
