Apply now for EGU's 2023 Science-Policy Pairing Scheme

To help promote a culture of evidence-informed policymaking and encourage stronger science-policy partnerships, the EGU will once again sponsor EGU members to work alongside a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and experience life inside the European Parliament this year. The EGU will cover the scientist’s travel and accommodation expenses for the duration of the Pairing Scheme.

The successful applicants will be paired with either Martin Hojsík or Petros Kokkalis, the two MEPs who will be involved in this year’s initiative.

Examples of activities that the scientists selected for the scheme might be involved with include:

• Receiving an introduction to the work of the European Parliament from the MEP or their assistants;
• Sharing your scientific expertise where relevant;
• Joining various meetings or events that involve European Parliament staff (depending on scheduling and meeting sensitivity).

The pairing scheme is likely to take place in November or early December 2023. The application deadline is midnight on 15 September 2023. Please note that only complete applications in English can be accepted and only scientists based in Europe who are active EGU members are eligible to apply.
