Welcome to your October Update for the 2025 EGU General Assembly, to be held 27 April–2 May 2025, both on-site in Vienna, Austria, and virtually. To keep you up to date, we will be sending you important EGU25 information 'EGU25 Updates' at least once per month – at the beginning of the month. You will still receive direct emails when tasks have a specific deadline, so make sure you check your spam folders and settings so that you don't miss anything!
