What can EGU do for you? Funding, fellowships, and more!

The European Geoscience Union provides a multitude of programmes designed to help researchers throughout the year, with opportunities ranging from funding for your own workshops or mentoring early career scientists, to interning with Members of the European Parliament.

This webinar will feature three speakers from within the Union, each discussing how researchers can be supported in their short-term ambitions to their long-term career goals. The webinar covered will include support for a number of topics including outreach activities, science education, and policy, and cover a range of programmes including monetary support to working with the Union and its collaborators.
