Short Course and Conference Sponsorship Program

The EAG Short Course and Conference Sponsorship Program is open to EAG members who are organizing a short course or small conference in Europe focused on special topics or techniques from the broad field of geochemistry. The program aims to directly support student attendance at the event.

How to apply for sponsorship?

If you are an EAG member and are organizing a short course or small conference in Europe, you can apply for EAG Sponsorship. Short courses or small conferences should have at least 10 participants and focus on special topics or techniques from the broad field of geochemistry. The short courses or small conferences should be based in Europe. The event can be organized in conjunction with a Goldschmidt conference in Europe. Please note we will not prioritise EU or national funded events.

Following the short course or small conference, sponsored students should produce a one-page report on their experience. Some of those reports will be published on the EAG Blog.

For events taking place in 2023, the application deadline is 30 November 2022.
Applications for online as well as hybrid and in-person events will be considered.

Sponsorship requests should be addressed to the EAG Office at office@eag.eu.com and include:

  • a brief description of the goals of the short course or small conference
  • a proposed schedule
  • a list of suggested presenters
  • a preliminary budget plan, detailing income source (with registration fee if applicable) and foreseen expenses
  • information regarding the location and infrastructure
  • if applicable, information regarding other sources of funding for the event
  • EAG membership number of the organizer

In 2022, the EAG is proud to co-sponsor:

 

    In 2021, the EAG proudly co-sponsored:

    Virtual Short Course: Recent Developments and Applications in earth sciences of electron probe micro-analysis, 5-9 April

    Hosted by the Agricultural University of Athens, the five-day “Recent Developments and Applications in earth sciences of electron probe micro-analysis” virtual short course will take place from 5-9 April 2021.

    Combining online lectures and participant poster presentations, the course aims to educate undergraduates, graduates, and early career researchers in the theory and practice of Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), with a specific focus on its application to geochemistry. Visit the website for further information and register by 1 March.

    Events co-sponsored, originally scheduled for 2020:

    8th International Clumped Isotope Workshop, March 2022, Jerusalem, Israel

    8th International Clumped Isotope Workshop (8th ICIW), Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel (postponed to March 2022).

    Since 2010 the fast-growing community of scientists interested in clumped isotopes meet every ~1.5 years for a few days’ workshop, to discuss methodological development and inter-laboratory standardization, learn about exciting new applications, and share ideas. The workshops are structured around several sessions of lectures and posters, with a large portion of the time being devoted to formal and informal discussion.

    ContaSed2021, 9-12 June 2021, Bern, Switzerland

    2nd International Conference on Contaminated Sediments (ContaSed2020 was postponed to 9-12 June 2021)
    Sediments are sources and sinks of contaminants, and play an important role in mediating pollutants across compartments of ecosystems. ContaSed2021 will focus on organic and inorganic sediment contaminant classes including microplastics, emerging contaminants, heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants.

    Thanks to support from the EAG through the Short Course and Conference Sponsorship Program, financial support was available for Masters and PhD students attending the conference.
