This summer the first ever Model European Parliament for Early Career Scientists (MEP4ECS) event took place in Brussels, involving Early Career Scientists from across Europe. Funded by EGU through the Special Activtiy Fund and organised by Fondazione ISSNOVA with the collaboration of Rotary Club Global ROOTS, the event gave participants the chance to learn about European policymaking on the theme of 'the role of science in supporting European climate change adaptation policy'.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is excited to announce this year’s Science Journalism Fellowship awardees: Sophie Fessl, Rebecca Wolfer, and Antonio Alonso Rodríguez.
Why do storybook donkeys know about earthquakes? Discover a new show premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August exploring seismology and science through storytelling and song, funded by the EGU Special Activity Fund and with support from the University of Edinburgh School of GeoSciences.
The EGU, in close collaboration with the European Parliament Intergroup on Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Sustainable Development, are providing an EGU member with the opportunity to visit Brussels and work alongside a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) to learn more about how science can be used to support policymaking in Europe! Apply by 1 September 2026.
How do you study an ocean that is difficult to reach, frequently covered by sea ice, and far from most research institutions? Collecting observations is one challenge. Finding the measurements that already exist can be another. Temperature and salinity profiles reveal how seawater properties change with depth, helping oceanographers identify water masses and investigate the […]
While spooky season is officially in the rearview mirror, it’s not too late to talk about ghosts, is it? Not the bedsheet-wearing, candy-hunting ones that may have haunted our doorsteps last week, but a much older, more elusive kind: the geochemical phantoms of Earth’s first living organisms. Nearly thirty years ago, a team of geologists […]
Saturn is best known for its spectacular rings, but the rings are closely connected to the surrounding Saturnian environment. One of the sources of material in this system is the small icy moon Enceladus. During the Cassini mission, spectacular plumes were discovered erupting from fractures near Enceladus’ south pole, known as the tiger stripes. These […]
