The EGU runs a substantial outreach programme, co-ordinated by the Outreach Committee.

Objectives

Increase public awareness of the scientific work of the EGU membership and facilitate dissemination of information beyond the geosciences community.
Identify and highlight societal challenges that can be addressed by the EGU membership and harness the expertise of members to address societal needs.
Establish and strengthen links between the EGU membership and policy- and decision-makers, primarily but not exclusively in Europe.
Facilitate interactions and transfer of information within the geoscience community via newsletters, websites, data portals, bulletins, blogs, and social media.

The membership of the Union and its component groups
Geoscientists who are not Union members
National or international geoscience societies, agencies and enterprises, both within and outside Europe
People, institutions, organisations and scientific unions engaged in fields other than geosciences, both within and outside Europe
Decision makers, the working media and the non-scientific public, primarily but not exclusively in Europe

The EGU Outreach Committee works closely with the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, established as working group by the EGU Council in Autumn 2018.
