The next (26th) Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) General Assembly will be held in Prague from the 22nd of June to the 2nd of July, 2015. Registration and abstract submission are now open! The deadline for grant applications is January 15th, 2015, and the abstract submission deadline is January 31st, 2015.

This will be an important meeting for the cryospheric sciences, with more than 20 symposia led by The International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) http://www.cryosphericsciences.org.

This meeting will provide a forum for cryospheric scientists to interact with oceanographers, hydrologists, atmospheric scientists, seismologists, volcanologists, geodesists and geomagneticists, as IUGG assemblies bring together scientists from all branches of geophysics represented by the eight semi-autonomous IUGG Associations (http://www.iugg.org/associations/).

The full programme is available at http://www.iugg2015prague.com/scientific-program.htm. Note that IAMAS (meteorology and atmospheric sciences) are yet to put up their programme, thus more relevant sessions will appear soon.

Many of the sessions below will be co-convened by a young scientist from APECS (http://www.apecs.is/en/). Selection of APECS conveners is currently in progress - there may still be an opportunity to assist if you are interested.

IACS will offer a number of travel grants, especially to postgraduate students, early career scientists, and scientists from developing countries who submit a high-quality abstract. See here for more information: http://www.iugg2015prague.com/funding-grant-applications.htm.
