The European Geophysical Union (EGU) General Assembly brings together researchers from all over the world in a meeting covering all disciplines of earth, space, and planetary sciences. IIASA researchers from a number of research programs - including the Ecosystems Services and Management, Risk, Policy and Vulnerability, and Water programs - will present a variety of research during oral and poster presentations at the meeting. 

Additional information for journalists will be available prior to the meeting: To arrange interviews with IIASA researchers please contact the IIASA Press Office

The list below includes IIASA presentations at the meeting, but does not include presentations on which IIASA researchers were coauthors. For full information please see the EGU program.
