The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly is one of the largest and most prominent gatherings of geoscientists worldwide. It is an annual event that brings together researchers, scientists, educators, students, policymakers, and professionals from various disciplines such as atmospheric sciences, hydrology, climate science, seismology, geomorphology, oceanography, planetary sciences, and many others. 

The EGU General Assembly provides a space for the exchange of scientific knowledge, ideas, and research findings through a diverse range of sessions, presentations, posters, and discussions. Attendees can present their latest research, engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, and stay updated on developments in their respective fields. 

In addition to the scientific program, the EGU General Assembly also hosts dedicated events, workshops, and exhibitions, providing opportunities for professional development, outreach, and networking.
