Under the category EFGeoBlog, we welcome guest posts from our National Associations, ourPanels of Experts, and from external contributors who would like to present recent research or professional developments in the field of geosciences. Posts may include reports from geosciences events, information on publications and relevant EU policy development. As one of EFG’s main missions is to create public awareness of the importance of geoscience for society, we are particularly interested in best practice reports about geoscience outreach initiatives.
Find all information on how to contribute in our guidelines. We look forward to receiving your contributions!
