EGU Media & Outreach Overview

The EGU runs a substantial outreach programme, in order to promote the geosciences and the solar system sciences beyond the scope set by the Constitution and Bylaws of the Union. This includes but is not necessairly restricted to:

• people, institutions,organisations or scientific unions engaged in fields other than geosciences, both within and outside Europe,
• with national or international geosciences societies outside of Europe, to mutual benefit,
• social problems related to geosciences, to decision makers and the non-scientific public, primarily, but not exclusively in Europe,
• International Conferences and Workshops on topics of geosciences with significant socio-economic impact for regions outside of Europe, to be held in and jointly organized with scientists/institutions from these regions.
