Early Career Scientists (ECS) – defined as a student, a PhD candidate, or a practising scientist who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc or PhD) within the past seven years – compose about half of EGU’s members. Many of the sessions and events throughout the Assembly are built with our ECS attendees in mind, from introducing you to the Assembly and the Union as a whole or the numerous ECS-orientated networking events and short courses.

The General Assembly is the nucleus around which EGU’s community gathers and connects, providing a week of opportunity to meet new people and reaffirm old bonds. Progress within science and its impact on society rises from the confluence of ideas and a diversity of voices; to facilitate meeting and discussion at the Assembly, #EGU25 offers a number of paths for building your network.

You may have drawn a plan to keep you in check, but how do you build on this to achieve sustainable growth? Sustainable growth has been a crucial throughout my career: from projects management and scientific research to building a charity, all required the ability to identify development pathways.

Developing a new skill. Building a routine. At the turn of the new year, the resolution to make such changes burns strong in many. Yet good intentions often recede under the draw of familiar habits and with the waning of motivation. It’s a common sight: gyms flourish with new members in January, only for their numbers to thin as the months progress.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) supports bringing science into the classroom at all learning levels, from schools to universities. Since the Higher Education Teaching grant programme launched in 2020, EGU has funded 24 projects to develop useful and freely available geoscience resources to university educators. This blog is part of a series of blogs highlighting the innovative and accessible resources developed by grant awardees to support teaching in higher education.
