It also highlights opportunities to apply for a traineeship inside the European Parliament , be inspired by real-life examples of science for policy initiatives , and take a glance at the news from the Arctic, including a summary for policymakers on climate change in the area and an open letter by the research community for the Central Arctic Ocean. If you have any further questions or comments about policy opportunities that exist for scientists in Europe, don’t hesitate to get in touch !

Home / Awards & medals / John Dalton Medal / 1998 / James C.I. Dooge
The medal is named after John Dalton of Manchester, known to all scientists for contributions to atomic theory. The Hydrological Sciences Section, after much debate, decided to name its first medal after John Dalton in recognition of the first water balance at large scale which he made of England and Wales at the beginning of the 19th century.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2022 / Simone Francesco Fornasari
His PhD project focuses on real-time seismic monitoring, the development of new approaches to estimate ground motion parameters in existing workflows and their integration with existing workflows. At EGU 2022, Simone presented a new data-driven algorithm, consisting of an ensemble of convolutional neural networks trained on a database of ground-shaking maps produced with traditional algorithms, that exploits the information from the station data only to provide estimates of the ground-shaking maps and their associated uncertainties in real-time.

Ö.; Smit, J.; Ocakoğlu, F.; Fornaciari, E.; Vonhof, H.; Altıner, S. Ö.) Click here to download the poster/PICO file. Sanem Açıkalın finished her PhD at Department of Geological Engineering of the Eskisehir Osmangazi University (Turkey) in June 2011. Her research interest focuses on reconstruction of the paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic conditions of the basins and distinguishing records of local events from global ones.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / EGU Science for Policy Hangout
Each Hangout will feature an expert who is working at the interface of science and policy before dividing participants into breakout rooms to virtually network and continue the discussion! In February, Elias Symeonakis will highlight some of his key takehome messages from the EGU’s 2022 Science-Policy Pairing Scheme in the European Parliament.

June The 13th Summer School on Sensitivity Analysis of Model Output (SAMO 2026) Fiesole (Florence), Italy 8–12 June 2026 SAMO 2026 covers how to perform sensitivity analysis in simulation modelling, as it has a crucial role in policy and policy-making. It provides an introduction to Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) — one of the most powerful tools for knowledge and understanding understanding complex models.

The annual EGU General Assembly , the largest geosciences meeting in Europe, brings together thousands of scientists from all over the world into one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences.
Home / Awards & medals / Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal / 2023 / Tom Battin
At the stream scale, Battin’s research on benthic biofilms and microbial communities demonstrated their critical role on the functioning of the fluvial ecosystems. At broader scales, his seminal papers have contextualised the role of freshwater fluxes in the carbon cycle, especially the importance of lateral transport in local and regional carbon budgets.
