ECR events at EGU 2016

There are a number of exciting events for early career scientists at EGU!

The EGU defines an Early Career Scientists (ECS) as an undergraduate or postgraduate (Masters/PhD) student or a scientist who has received his or her highest degree (BSc, MSc, or PhD) within the past seven years [excluding parental leave]

• Social event for Early Career Cryosphere Scientists!

  If there is one thing you need to attend it is the social event we are organising together with APECS. After the short course on Wednesday evening (see below) we will head to the Wieden Brau) for some food, drinks and networking. We will be there at approximately 20.30. You do not have to sign up in advance, but if you know that you are coming it would be very helpful if you could let us know filling in this doodle. (There is also a facebook event)

• Meeting about the Cryosphere Blog

  Have you heard about the EGU Cryosphere blog? If you like this blog and would like to contribute to it — directly and/or indirectly — please come and meet us on Tuesday the 19th of April at 12.15. (practical details will be updated in the e-agenda soon)

• Short courses

  Short courses give an insight into a certain area and/or the applications/uses/pitfalls in and around the topic. There are a lot of very interesting courses at this year’s meeting and below we have highlighted a few of them.

  Cryospheric short courses:

  Using Ice core chronologies: Dos and don'ts :for researchers who do not work directly in the ice-core community, but who find themselves using ice core data for comparison with other climate data and time-series.
  Time and date: Wednesday the 20th of April, 19:00–20:00 (Room 0.31)

  Meet the editor: The Cryosphere || Climate of the past will both discuss the publication process. How it works, what is needed, what should be avoided etc.

  Broader Early-career short courses:

  Of course there also many short courses of general interest for young researchers. Below, we highlighted a few of them but you can find more on this geolog blog post or in the ECS-program:

  The communicating geoscientist will focus on how scientists can communicate science and do public engagement (outreach to schools, videos, blogs, etc)
  Time and date: Tuesday, the 19th of April, 15:30–17:00 (Room -2.85)

  Working at the science policy interface will present how science becomes policies at European and global scales. (with speaker from the IPCC, the European Environment Agency and European Commission’s Joint Research Centre)

• ECS Forum

  The EGU gives the opportunity to early career scientist to meet their representatives, find out what the EGU does for them and take the chance to become more involved in the Union. This forum is a great opportunity to let us know what you would like from the EGU, find out how you can get involved in the Assembly and meet other scientists in the EGU early career scientist community.
  Time and date: Wednesday the 20th of April, 12:15–13:15 (Room L7)
