This summer the first ever Model European Parliament for Early Career Scientists (MEP4ECS) event took place in Brussels, involving Early Career Scientists from across Europe. Funded by EGU through the Special Activtiy Fund and organised by Fondazione ISSNOVA with the collaboration of Rotary Club Global ROOTS, the event gave participants the chance to learn about European policymaking on the theme of 'the role of science in supporting European climate change adaptation policy'.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is excited to announce this year’s Science Journalism Fellowship awardees: Sophie Fessl, Rebecca Wolfer, and Antonio Alonso Rodríguez.
Why do storybook donkeys know about earthquakes? Discover a new show premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August exploring seismology and science through storytelling and song, funded by the EGU Special Activity Fund and with support from the University of Edinburgh School of GeoSciences.
The EGU, in close collaboration with the European Parliament Intergroup on Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Sustainable Development, are providing an EGU member with the opportunity to visit Brussels and work alongside a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) to learn more about how science can be used to support policymaking in Europe! Apply by 1 September 2026.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn… are they deities or planets? The names of the planets of our Solar System are so deeply rooted in modern culture that we rarely stop to think about their true meaning, or about how other ancient cultures might have called them. Today we explore the fascinating origins of the names […]
Drought is inherently difficult to quantify due to its complex and multiscale nature. As a result, our ability to assess and monitor this phenomenon depends heavily on the availability of high-quality datasets. The Global Multi-Index Drought (GMID) dataset was developed to address key limitations of existing global drought products. Our goal was to create a […]
Groundwater is easy to use but difficult to observe. Wells can measure local changes very precisely, but they are unevenly distributed, and long groundwater records are missing across large parts of the world. Satellite gravimetry offers another view. Instead of measuring water levels in individual aquifers, satellites detect small changes in Earth’s gravity field caused […]
