These flagship public events run on one day each year in a rotating European country. The aim is to raise awareness of the Earth, planetary and space sciences to school students, the wider public, policymakers and journalists. The grant is available for a team to bring to fruition one or several large public events this year on the same day in a single European country.</p> <p>Last year’s Geoscience Day was hosted in Greece, on the volcanic islands of Santorini and Nisyros. Event co-ordinator and succesful applicant for last year’s Geoscience Day funding, Evi Nomikou, Associate Professor at the Deptartment of Geology and Geoenvironment, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, said “The <span class="caps">EGU</span> Geoscience Day serves the vital purpose of fostering awareness in Earth, planetary and space sciences among school students, the broader public, policy makers and journalists.” The event has been described by the Nisyros Geopark in a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7123038742251995137/?actorCompanyId=2338760" rel="nofollow">public post</a> as “a great success” and Evi went on to explain a little more about the event itself.

Over 200 students from the Vocational High School and High School of Thira in Santorini and 60 students from the Primary School of Mandraki in Nisyros were immersed in educational activities designed to help them unravel the geological history of the two most active volcanic complexes in Greece, while also being informed about potential volcanic geohazards and the significance of volcano monitoring.</cite></p> <p><cite>To further enhance the learning experience, virtual guides such as the Santorini and Nisyros Volcano apps were introduced, offering simplified scientific material, including 2D and 3D maps, 360° panoramas, and drone footage showcasing the geodiversity of the area. As a geoscientist participating in the event, it was inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and curiosity of the students as they delved into the captivating world of geoscience.”</cite></p> <p>Applications are now open for the 2024 Geoscience Day grant. <span class="caps">EGU</span> particularly encourages applications from <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/enlargement-countries/background" rel="nofollow">EU enlargement</a> (candidates for joining the EU) and <a href="https://egu.eu/76JJWN/" rel="nofollow">EU-13</a> (those which joined in 2004 and later) countries. If several events are proposed, they should ideally be held in several different locations across the country but on the same day. There are no restrictions on the format of the Geoscience Day or the proposed activities.</p> <p>Successful proposals should aim to include at least two of the following audiences: school children from under-represented demographics within geosciences; “inactive” public audiences who don’t typically seek out science events are encouraged; national science policymakers, journalists, or non-governmental organisations. </p> <p>Applications should aim to include at least one of the following: </p> <p>• Two-way dialogues between geoscientists and communities<br> • Co-created, where communities and stakeholders contribute to their design<br> • Audience-centred, built around considering the audience’s experience first and foremost<br> • Innovative, addressing barriers and issues in society through new and transdisciplinary methods (especially from outside of the geosciences)</p> <p>Applications for the <span class="caps">EGU</span> Geoscience Day 2024 will be open until the end of <strong>Wednesday, 15 May 2024</strong>. All applications should be submitted in English, but the event(s) should be in the most suitable language for the target audience(s). All proposals will be evaluated by the end of April, with the winners being announced shortly afterwards. The Geoscience Day event(s) must then be completed before the end of 2024.
