Since more than 3 years a group of geoscientists aim to establish an international research network related to the topic "mountain glaciations". After an encouraging first attempt that in the end was not successful, an improved new application for a COST Action to create such a network has been submitted more recently. The current coordinators of this application want to utilise the opportunity that many involved or potentially interested colleagues will gather at the EGU General Assembly to discuss possible future directions. This splinter meeting should also make this initiative more public to those not already aware of it.
