🌍 World Earth Day 2026 - Our Power, Our Planet This year’s World Earth Day theme reminds us that protecting our planet is not driven by a single decision or moment. It is shaped by the collective actions of people, communities, and sectors every day. 1/5

📣 📣 Volunteer call! At EDIG, we believe that meaningful change in geoscience comes from people working together across disciplines, backgrounds, and experiences. As our community continues to grow, we are looking for new volunteers to help shape and deliver our next phase of activity. 1/3

Representation shapes how we see ourselves and how we see possibilities. In science and engineering, it remains essential. When people recognise themselves in a field, it builds inclusion, belonging, and the confidence to take part. 1/5

#Italy: We welcome the introduction of the crime of femicide – defined as the murder of a woman, motivated by gender – as a distinct law, following the Parliament's unanimous vote. This reflects meaningful progress in addressing discrimination against women and girls.

Do you use LinkedIn? Looking for input: Who do you connect with & why? As a general rule, I only connect with folks I have worked with or directly interacted with elsewhere. Otherwise, I just follow. Lately I am getting ++ invites from folks I don't know at all. Is this common in some circles?

🤔 What makes an #event engaging and meaningful? In our upcoming #webinar, you will learn effective ways to write successful session proposals, build inclusive and high-performing convening teams, and manage logistics to ensure a high‑impact event. 📅 9 December 2025 📝 Register NOW: egu.eu/0RJ7XR

It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years! Mentee form: forms.gle/um5DvYnBi3tn... Mentor form: forms.gle/BvaxnQm8uhUR... Applications due December 5th!

In our last post, we shared a summary of EDIG’s past conferences. This week, we wanted to share another part of our 2020 conference planning – an online survey asking people in geoscience about their experiences (or lack of) with equity, diversity, & inclusion-related challenges. 1/4

As the DEI co-chair, I hope you will apply to join the DEI committee. We are a friendly active bunch working on making Geochemistry more accessible and inclusive. This includes during @goldschmidt-confer.bsky.social, online (www.eagblog.org/categories/d...), and with respect to the awards.

The EAG is looking for enthusiastic and motivated volunteers for the committees: Communications, Council Nominations, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Training & Outreach Committee and Award Nominations. Anyone working in geochemistry can apply. Deadline: 31 December www.eag.org/application-...

EDIG has grown since its launch in 2020, but a core part of our past has been our events. We were originally intended to be a standalone conference, aiming to provide a platform for open discussion on equity, diversity, and inclusion in geoscience. (1/6)
