The EGU General Assembly 2018 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. 

The EGU 2017 General Assembly is the largest geosciences meeting in Europe and brings together thousands of geoscientists from all over the world. Covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences, it provides an opportunity for journalists and science writers to talk to researchers, learn about new developments and find out about the latest discoveries in a variety of areas, such as climate, space and planetary science missions, natural disasters, and seafloor exploration.

The 40th CETAF General Meeting will take place on the 18th-19th October 2016 at the Royal Botanic Garden in Madrid, Spain. 

Topics that will be discussed are, among others, related to the launching of the new BIOTALENT project, as a European collaboration with four other partners, and a workshop on e-publishing and e-publications.

The CETAF 40 General Assembly will be followed by the 20th Anniversary of CETAF on 20 October 2016.

The Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities is preparing its Next General Assembly that will take place on 21-22 April 2015.
