Egu Eu
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe. GeoLog is the Union’s official blog, which is edited by the EGU Communications Officer Hazel Gibson and has a number of contributors. The EGU General Assembly 2019 was again a great success with 16,250 presentations: 5,531 orals, 9,432 posters, and 1,287 PICOs. The programme featured 683 unique scientific sessions together with 87 short courses and 338 side events. 16,273 scientists from 113 countries participated, of which 53% were under the age of 35 years. Participants having paid their annual membership fee for 2021 to the European Geosciences Union (EGU) and/or to the American Geophysical Union (AGU), Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS), or Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU). The URSI Board and the Local Organizing Committee are pleased to confirm that the URSI GASS 2021, #URSIGASS2021, will be held in ROME from August 28th to September 4th. The GASS will be a HYBRID MEETING, with provision for both on-site and online participation and presentations.

Abstract content and abstract submission
Abstracts of the work that is to be presented at the General Assembly should be short (100–500 words), clear, concise, and written in English with correct spelling and good sentence structure. Every abstract should present unique research. Submission of duplicate abstracts is considered unethical, irrespective of presentation format or programme group that an abstract is submitted to. To protect the integrity of authorship, only persons who have significantly contributed to the research should be listed as authors on abstracts. Thereby, no fictitious names are allowed to be listed as authors or co-authors. The corresponding author attests to the fact that any others named as authors have seen the final version of the abstract and have agreed to its submission for presentation. The author who submits an abstract accepts the responsibility of having included as co-authors all persons that are appropriate and none that are inappropriate.
Authors who are not themselves professional scientists, but have contributed significantly to either the research design, delivery, or analysis (e.g. citizen scientists, indigenous communities) can also be listed as co-authors. Please note that in the case of any citizen science (or other such) project where there are a large number of potential co-authors, the name of a specific group or collective is permitted, provided that they themselves aided significantly in the research that is presented.
EGU abstracts remain online and are searchable also for people not participating in the General Assembly. All abstracts receive a DOI (digital object identifier). Abstracts (except withdrawn ones) are also indexed in the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS). They are not indexed in other bibliographic databases like Scopus. ORCID numbers will be linked to authors that have their ORCID included in the personal data section of their Copernicus account.
Submitting abstracts and display materials to vEGU21 does not impact future publication. Journals usually encourage authors to discuss their work at conferences prior to submitting a manuscript, and most allow posting on a not-for-profit preprint server such as EGUsphere prior to submission. Examples of these policies can be found at all EGU and AGU journals, Nature, and Science.
Further information on abstract submission can be found on how to submit an abstract.
One-abstract rule
Authors are allowed as first author to submit either one regular abstract plus one abstract solicited by a convener, or two solicited abstracts. A second regular abstract can be submitted to the Education and Outreach Sessions (EOS) programme group (the maximum number of abstracts, including solicited abstracts, remains two). Possible submissions for first authors are the following:
- 1 regular + 1 solicited abstract;
- or 2 solicited abstracts;
- or 1 regular or solicited abstract + 1 EOS abstract (regular or solicited).
Since the system limits abstract submissions to one you will need to provide a transaction number (TAN) when submitting your additional solicited abstract. This TAN has to be provided by the convener. Participants can be co-author on additional abstracts in which they are not first author.
EGU membership required
Only EGU members are able to submit an abstract as first author. You can become member or renew your membership at the EGU webpage.

Abstract processing charges (APCs)
Egu Type
Please note that submission of an abstract incurs an abstract processing charge (APC) of €40. Late contributions (uploaded by conveners after the abstract deadline) have an increased APC of €80 and require approval by the programme committee.
