Events
The EGU General Assembly is the European counterpart to the AGU, providing a massive, multi-faceted forum for the geosciences with a particularly strong emphasis on atmospheric physics, chemistry, and meteorological modeling. Held annually in Vienna, this event is famous for its vibrant atmosphere and the sheer volume of oral and poster presentations that cover everything from local convective storms to the global dynamics of the stratosphere. It provides a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to present their work alongside established experts, fostering a culture of mentorship and intellectual debate that is essential for the continued evolution of the atmospheric sciences in Europe and beyond.
The halls of the Vienna International Centre are filled with a global audience of over 18,000 scientists, with a heavy representation from European universities, research institutes, and environmental agencies. Beyond academia, the event is increasingly attended by industry professionals from the insurance, energy, and environmental consulting sectors who need to understand the latest climate projections and weather-related risk assessment models to protect their portfolios. It is also a key event for scientific instrument manufacturers and software developers who provide the tools necessary for the high-resolution data collection and analysis that defines modern European geosciences.
Annually: Vienna, Austria (Late April/Early May).
