SCIENCE FOR POLICY

EGU-IEEP Policy Mentoring scheme

In collaboration with the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP), the EGU is offering a 12-month hybrid mentoring scheme that will provide early and mid-career scientists with the unique opportunity to work alongside IEEP members, gaining valuable hands-on experience and insights into how they interact and share information with Europe’s policy community.

European Environment Agency: Call for experts

The European Environment Agency (EEA) is establishing a list of individual experts to support their activities with a focus on the areas of resource use, circular economy and waste, health and environment, oceans and sustainable blue economy, biodiversity, climate, and sustainability transitions. Experts in these areas can submit their details to apply to join this list and may then be invited to contribute to specific tasks and activities, such as literature reviews, data collection and/or analysis, writing technical briefings, and providing specific advice and input. All work completed by EEA-listed experts will be remunerated.

JOURNAL WATCH

Each month we choose a scientific paper published in one of EGU’s open access journals to be our Journal Watch, but did you know you can also access preprints, abstracts and supplementary materials from our meetings and annual General Assembly through EGUsphere?
