EXPECT will be participating in the upcoming European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2026, taking place from 3 to 8 May 2026 in Vienna, Austria. Held annually, the EGU General Assembly brings together geoscientists from around the world to present cutting-edge research across the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. It serves as a key platform for exchanging ideas, showcasing new findings, and fostering collaboration across disciplines.
This year, EXPECT researchers from the University of Hamburg, Heidelberg University, and the German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ) will contribute to the scientific programme with presentations spanning climate prediction, aerosol forcing, and advanced climate data analysis.
