If you are a geochemistry PhD student and plan on attending a short course or conference located in Europe before 1 March 2015 - apply for EAG sponsorship. 20 students must be funded! Find out more.
Large meetings like EGU and AGU are the places where geochemistry is showcased to the wider Earth and Planetary communities. It is important that the wider community is made aware of how we organize, where we publish and our key conferences. Come and visit us at our booth (no 2722) at the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting and see what we are up to too! (If you are planning to attend AGU remember the deadlines: 6 August for abstracts and 13 August for AGU student travel grant applications).
