Motivation for serving the EAG council
My motivation to serve as an EAG councillor is to represent East-Central Europe within the Council. This would include, among others, promotion of organization of local workshops supported by EAG and helping young scientists from the region by spreading information about the possibilities EAG offers them to help their education, research and carrier. Additionally, as a researcher engaged in an interdisciplinary field between natural and human sciences, my involvement would enhance the diversity of the geochemical community and could be a link towards a larger number of scientists investigating our past.
