The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organization for Earth, planetary, and space science research in Europe – a non-profit international union of scientists with about 19,500 members worldwide.
The EGU General Assembly 2026 will take place in a hybrid format from 3–8 May 2026, providing a forum for geoscientists, practitioners, communicators and policymakers, to present their work and discuss ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.
You can find out more on the EGU2026 website.
