EGU General Assembly 2025
Home | Events | Researchers | EGU General Assembly 2025

Vienna, Austria
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe, fostering geoscience research, alongside applied research that addresses key societal and environmental challenges. The EGU’s vision is to realise a sustainable and just future for humanity and for the planet.
Every year, the EGU organises its General Assembly: a large event, attracting geoscientists from all over the world (in 2004, over 21,000 attended the meeting). The sessions cover a wide range of topics, including volcanology, planetary exploration, the Earth’s internal structure and atmosphere, climate, as well as energy and resources.
The EGU General Assembly aims to provide a forum for scientists and early career researchers to present their work and discuss their idea with experts.
In 2025, the GA will take place in Vienna, Austria, from 27 April to 2 May 2025, and LifeWatch ERIC is proud to attend, joining the ENVRI-Hub NEXT team in the ENVRI Community Booth.
