Film synopsis: "The world is crying out for a new model of leadership, but what is it?" One woman thinks she has the answer. Australian CEO and 'dreamer' Fabian Dattner, leads an international group of 76 female scientists on an Antarctic voyage designed to transform them "into the sort of leaders they want to be." Her hope is that once these women are primed to lead in science, they will be able to make meaningful change around the world. But on board Dattner's own leadership style and philosophy are both severely tested, as the women's deeply personal stories of workplace harassment and more are revealed. Set against the planet’s last untouched wilderness, The Leadership delivers an altogether unexpected and original reflection on what it takes to be a good leader, while unearthing the profoundly troubling systemic obstacles to women's advancement in science and beyond."

An event for first-time attendees, mentors, and mentees, this event makes space for you to meet other attendees from across multiple disciplines, build your social network, or to just create space for a mentor-mentee meeting. The meet-up is your opportunity to talk science, careers, or just to socialise at the beginning of the conference. The event is unstructured and there for you to stay as long as you wish during the time-slot: you need only to turn up and mingle with others.

The ECS networking reception is the opportunity to get to know your peers across all disciplines. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet senior scientists, medalists and awardees, EGU volunteers, committee members, and ECS Representatives. ECS members are welcome to join and engage in conversation for career advice, interesting stories, or just a low-key chat. Attendees must register for this event using the sign-up form prior to the event; please keep an eye on the ECS mailing lists for updates.

Join us in this live Teacher-Scientist Pairing Session coordinated by the EGU Education and Outreach Committees to promote geoscience education in schools. The event takes you to Caserta (Italy) to join Teresita Gravina and her school classroom together with Giuliana Panieri, a scientist from the Arctic University of Norway. The teacher and the scientist work together to guide the students in their quest for understanding the Arctic Ocean and the science behind how it is changing. This session is conducted primarily in Italian with live English translation, and is likely to be of interest to anyone interested in science education and outreach. For questions related to this session, please contact the convener.
