Guidelines for Student Assistance for EGS General Assemblies

The EGS invites students in the geo and space sciences who speak and understand English (preferably from the assembly location) to assist the EGS staff in running the General Assemblies. This includes

• Assistance at the Registration
• Assistance in the Lecture Rooms
• Assistance in the Poster Areas

In general, the working hours are from 08:00-20:00 at every day of the meeting (it varies during the assembly week and depends on the different jobs) and, with regard to the registration, on the day before the meeting from 10:00-19:00. Moreover, any lecture room or poster area job can be shared to allow assistants to attend/sit in their favorite sessions.

A general introduction to the various tasks is provided on the day when the official registration starts.

In return the EGS is ready to provide

• free admission to the meeting and to its general activities
• payment of 8.- EUR per hour incl. coffee and lunch break hours
• a financial contribution to the travel expenses for those who come from outside the assembly location (for all Europeans 30,- EUR per 100 KM, but max. 150,- EUR).

In this way the EGS intends to support about 60 students to participate in its General Assembly free. Please register by sending a short e-mail notice with your preferred job by 28 March 2002 at the very latest (first come - first go). We will confirm your assistance but without fixing the job about 4 weeks before the assembly starts. Those who will not have confirmed their participation 2 weeks before the assembly at the very latest do not have an automatic refusal on a job.
