Candidates criteria and selection for the Union representative of the Early Career Scientists

Following EGU’s bottom-up approach, members of the organisation can propose a candidate to any open vacancy. Self-nominations are encouraged and if a member nominates someone else, the candidate's consent is needed.

Any candidate must meet a rigorous standard of requirements.

Each nomination is assessed by EGU's elected volunteer Council (consisting of the Division Presidents, the Union representative of the Early Career Scientists and elected members of the Executive); their suitability is assessed and the Council either approves or rejects the nominations by anonymous vote. If any nominee is rejected by the Council, they cannot stand for election in accordance to the EGU Statutes §8 (3).
