Next week, a very exciting conference will take place online: EGU2020 online conference: Sharing Geoscience Online with many activities that might be of interest for you.

The European Geoscience Union (EGU) organises every year a huge conference (usually in Vienna with 10 000+ participants) and a number of sessions are dedicated to data. Due to Covid-19, the meeting is now online and free to attend.

I have selected for you some sessions that might be of interest (Time is provided in CEST):
