Introduction

The EGU runs a substantial outreach programme, coordinated by the Outreach Committee.

Objectives

• Increase public awareness of the scientific work of the EGU membership and facilitate dissemination of information beyond the geosciences community.
• Identify and highlight societal challenges that can be addressed by the EGU membership and harness the expertise of members to address societal needs.
• Establish and strengthen links between the EGU membership and policy- and decision-makers, primarily but not exclusively in Europe.
• Facilitate interactions and transfer of information within the geoscience community via newsletters, websites, data portals, bulletins, blogs, and social media.

Target groups

• The membership of the Union and its component groups
• Geoscientists who are not Union members
• National or international geoscience societies, agencies and enterprises, both within and outside Europe
• People, institutions, organisations and scientific unions engaged in fields other than geosciences, both within and outside Europe
• Decision makers, the working media and the non-scientific public, primarily but not exclusively in Europe
