EGU is pleased to announce that the Union is now a signatory of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA), further reinforcing our commitment to Open Science, Open Research and Open Meetings.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024 Field Schools for Teachers and Geoscience Education Events awards. These awards, aimed at advancing education in Earth, planetary, and space sciences, offer financial support to initiatives that foster geoscience learning across different educational levels.
EGU would like to publicly refute the allegations published in an article in Science news online on 2 July 2024, regarding the dismissal of the Union’s former President and the purported events that occurred during the 2024 General Assembly. We will therefore provide further clarification on the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of former president Irina Artemieva and the measures undertaken to preserve the integrity and ethical standards of our organisation.
The EGU will support the organisation of 16 geoscience conferences and training schools run by EGU members in 2024.
Following the EGU Council vote on the dismissal of Irina Artemieva as President of EGU on 21 May 2024, after careful consideration, and with a return to a more normal functioning, the EGU Council can now provide additional information.

Across the globe, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities are disproportionately affected by environmental and social injustices, including energy poverty. As the world grapples with the dual crises of climate change …
„observations not taken today are lost forever.“ (Wunsch et al., 2013) The Critical Need for CO2 Measurements Imagine the ocean as a giant lung, breathing in carbon dioxide (CO2) and helping to keep our planet cool. It absorbs about 25% of the CO2 emissions from human activities, playing a crucial role in mitigating the pace of climate change. But what happens when we lose sight of this process? Because this is precisely the reality we are beginning to face. Our …
This year, the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, observed on October 13th, emphasises the crucial role of education in mitigating disaster risks. In this insightful interview, we have the pleasure of discussing this important topic with Engineer Marina Morando, Programme Director at the CIMA Research Foundation in Italy. She brings extensive research and operational experience in civil protection planning across various territorial levels, with a focus on participatory planning techniques to raise awareness among technicians, administrators, and citizens. Her …
