From May 3–8, 2026, this year’s EGU General Assembly (EGU 2026) took place in Vienna, Austria. Once again, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) brought together geoscientists from all over the world. Among them were researchers from our topic area Earth and Environmental Sciences, who helped shape the program with their contributions.

Contributions

We are proud of the amount and diversity of contributions by researchers working at ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig. They were involved in sessions, talks, and posters at EGU 2026.

EGU 2026

As the leading organization for earth, planetary and space science research in Europe, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) annually brings together international geoscience experts for their General Assembly. The meeting provides a forum for scientists and early career researchers to present current research directions and discuss their ideas. Learn more about EGU 2026 on the official website.
