ST Campfire - how to convene a scientific session

Convening a session at academic conferences is no doubt time-consuming, but they are also the primary catalysts for establishing a research network and significantly boosting your academic profile. Particularly for Early Career Scientists (ECS), the idea of convening a session can be fearful and many worry that they don’t know how to do it or whether they can wrap up the session smoothly.

The ECS team of the Solar-Terrestrial (ST) division of the European Geophysical Union (EGU) is organizing a campfire, where MSc Hannah Rudisser and Dr Manu Varghese, both ECSs with experience convening scientific sessions, will share their experience-based knowledge on how to convene a scientific session, giving, at the same time, some recommendations and feedback to not feel overwhelmed in the convening process, especially is your first time. Afterwards, there will be a networking session, where you will have the opportunity to meet and interact with fellow ECS members of our division.
