HIGHLIGHTS

This month we are sad to report that the former EGU Executive Secretary, Arne Richter, passed away. He was a major contributor to the development of the EGU, and a strong supporter of open access publishing, as well as of researchers in the earlier stages of their careers. On a more uplifting note, in September we are launching the call for proposal for a new conference programme: the Galileo Conferences. Finally, don’t forget you can still submit session ideas for the EGU 2016 General Assembly until 18 September, and propose a candidate for the next EGU President/Vice-President and General Secretary until 15 September.
