vEGU21 - Gather online - Prolog
Posted on 15 April 2021 by BaerbelW
Just like last year, this year s General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) will happen virtually instead of in person in Vienna. Contrary to last year, the organizers decided early on to hold their conference online and planned for it accordingly (quite a difference to last year s scramble where they switched from an on-premise to an all-online conference within just about six or seven weeks!).

Afterwards, any presentations uploaded under a creative commons license to the website will become open access and will be available on EGUSphere.
