1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Brendan Mccormick Kilbride <brendan.mccormickkilbride@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Dear colleagues, The EGU General Assembly 2021 (EGU2021) will be held at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) from 25 to 30 April 2021. In addition, virtual attendance will be possible. Please see the provisional format at: https://egu2021.eu/about/provisional_format_of_egu2021.html As Science Officers of the Geochemistry, Petrology, Mineralogy and Volcanology (GMPV) division, we encourage you to consider proposing a session for this meeting. You can do this, from now until 11 SEPTEMBER 2020, by suggesting sessions with conveners and a description at: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2021/programme You have the possibility to propose either physical sessions, which will be run on site in the traditional oral + poster format, or hybrid sessions called Virtual PICO, which will be a further development of the well-established PICO format that allows both on-site and virtual participation. In past meetings, we have had diverse and engaging sessions across numerous topics that cover the breadth of GMPV and often link closely with other EGU divisions. We are eager that the 2021 meeting is similarly successful. We very much encourage the proposal of inter-disciplinary sessions that establish or strengthen links with other divisions. We are also particularly keen to broaden the profile of our session convenors, notably to include early career scientists and members of our community from traditionally underrepresented or minority groups. We encourage senior scientists to seek opportunities to invite or involve their colleagues from these groups. The partially-virtual scope of the EGU 2021 general meeting affords opportunities for inviting co-convenors from anywhere in the world and we will gladly support efforts to broaden participation. If you are interested in convening sessions, please go ahead yourselves or otherwise feel free reach out to us if we can be of any support, for example in connecting different groups with similar ideas for sessions.
