IUGG ECSNet Project

The IUGG ECSNet (Early Career Scientists Network) project awarded to Katia Pinheiro aims to bring together the 8 associations under IUGG through early career involvement. The project has an ECS representative from each association and organises a 'How to get involved' Day which can provide more information. The first event was held on 3rd February 2025 and the next event will be on 3rd March. We hope you take this chance to know more about the associations and participate in it! Below is the 'How to get involved' pamphlet for IAGA.

IUGG Support: Call for Proposals

The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), of which the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) is a member, is offering sponsorship for symposia to be organised in 2025. One of the main aims of IUGG is to promote geophysics through international collaborations and an important role is played by scientific meetings in achieving this.

IUGG funds can be used to provide support to students and early career researchers as well as increase representation in meetings from underdeveloped countries. About 10-15 meetings (up to USD 10,000 each) can be supported through this call for symposia proposals.

The meeting organisers should contact their respective Secretary Generals (for IAGA, visit this page to know the Executive body members) before mid October. The Secretary Generals of each association would then submit their recommendations to the IUGG Secretary General by 31 October 2024. The IUGG bureau will make the final selections by December. 

Don't hesitate to get in contact with the IAGA Executive Committee to know more about the call and visit this webpage for more information.

Outreach Grant Calls

If you are a scientist interested in outreach work, there are two open calls you can apply for funding!

1) IUGG Grants Program 2024-2027 

Proposals will be funded for 1-2 years with topics pertaining to geosciences. You need to contact the Secretary General of the association you belong to under IUGG and have the support of another association. In addition, there must be a supporting applicant in the proposal. You can apply for a funding of maximum USD 20,000. For more information, visit the webpage here.

2) IAGA Outreach Projects

You can now also submit proposals for IAGA science outreach to the Executive body. The project can be awarded for a maximum of EUR 5,000 and can last up to 2 years. A wide variety of projects can be applied for, however, only one project will be selected each year in June. To learn more about the funding opportunity and project proposal, click here.

You can visit our older blogs under the blog series section 'Outreach Projects' to learn about previous outreach projects that were awarded by the 2 grants.
