ICOS at EGU26

The EGU General Assembly 3-8 May 2026 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. 

As is our tradition, the ICOS community and project partners are organising a wide range of sessions and presentations, see below the schedule for the week. We will also be present at the ENVRI Community booth (booth number 27 in the Entrance Hall exhibition area).

Monday, May 4
